Perhaps we could actually start a movement that fosters judging everyone EXCEPT bald people. I mean, babies are bald. So they're good. That clarifies everything!

My intent then is that we can be judgmental... just not AGAINST bald people, hence the use of the word non-judgmental. We can be judgmental in FAVOR of bald people all we want. Everyone else... well you're on your own I guess... we only defend bald people. Sorry. :) I was unclear in my original comment I suppose.

The issue as I see it is that your claim that others are judgmental toward bald people is itself a judgmental statement. With that said, can we truly claim to be a non-judgmental blog? :-) Regarding Phil's question, I think we can safely use him as a standard by which judgmentalism may be measured. So, Phil, feel free to tout your political, religious, and intellectual views on any topic. Given that you are a self-affirmed judgmentalist, we can then utilize your statements as a subjective basis for an analysis of judgmentalism... I understand your intent.

I'm ok with that. What do you consider "judgmental"? I’m not bald, but people say I’m judgmental. I’m ok with that. What do you consider “judgmental”?

It sounds like he has violent tendencies. It seems that he is inclined toward destruction...not deconstruction! As far as being a non-judgmental blog is concerned, it is probably important to point out that the the idea of being non-judgmental implies that others are judgmental, and that such an attitude has negative connotations. Were you intentionally trying to set a judgmental atmosphere with such an assertion? Hmmm…I am concerned about your son. It sounds like he has violent tendencies.

Maybe he's gonna be a thinker like his dad... :) Oh and good point to emphasize that bald people have feelings, we want them to feel welcome here... we are an non-judgmental blog, hair or hairless does not matter to us. :) Great opener, I especially like the balloons… my son loves balloons and tries to pop them.
