No.

Judge not unless we be judged ourselves.
The third most misused quote in the Bible.
First, are you judging me by claiming that I am judging someone else?
Second, the verse refers to passing judgment on the sinfullness or righteousness of someone else, not on whether you want them over to your house for dinner. Last I checked, God will allow us to choose our friends.
Lastly, you evaluate people based upon their behaviour every day. We all do and those who quote Bible verses are just as likely to do so as others. If you think you don't do it, it is because you do it unconsiously.
Roy, I rarely, if ever, have directly criticized any particular person for making simple spelling or grammar mistakes (the exceptions are based upon them being otherwise unpleasant). I know it's fun to imagine that's what I'm doing but it's not. I'm talking about how poor communications skills based upon a lack of consideration is relevatory.
Read that last sentence again.
Inconsideration shows "who you really are" more than oft repeated claims of being a "fun loving guy" does.
The point is that sloppy posting habits reveal what kind of person "you really are" just like the "HOW YOU COOK BREAKFAST SHOWS WHAT KIND OF LOVER YOU ARE" articles in the tabloids.
Here's the trick.
Everything you do reveals "who you really are". There's no escaping it. I just admit it and describe it and people get all offended. Other people hide from it, deny it, or are unconsious of it... but evaluate people by it nonetheless.
I would be more angry at the latter. Honesty is much better. In my opinion, the only thing we Earthlings owe each other is to be honest about how we feel.
