In any of us here at the Lounge passing judgement on a 'game addict' since most of us are either standing on the edge of that cliff, or are tumbling down it to one degree or another. ;)
For Chaerophon:
The comments that expressed your judgement are pretty common sensical, as I see it. Since when are we not to use and exercise judgemen? I do it all the time, in real life. It keeps me alive, and out of a lot of trouble. It also prevents me from making mistakes, and in helping others now and again. It keeps me from hanging around 'the wrong sorts.' :) Those who would insist that "we" not pass judgement are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
The caution from the old adage, as I recall it, is to not be too quick to judge, not that we abstain from judgement. Make a judgement when well informed, not per the mob scene converging on the infamous Mr Jackson of Santa Barbara at the moment.
In the matter of judgement, I support you 100%. Feel free to judge, and accept that now and again you may be judged. (I expect you take that approach.) Being judged happens to all of us now and again. Rather than decry it, we should take what we can from it and press on.
My two lire before I hit the hay.
