First you asked about "stupid, selfish" and "ignorant". While that is also mean, it is used by both and does not imho, seem to carry with it the implied smug sneer of assumed superiority. To explain, imo using the expression "virtue signaling" is, in itself, virtue signaling. By the same token, imo, the use of "face diapers" or "covidiots" seems an attempt to show superiority by using supposedly clever or cute little quips. A "put down" rather than a rational statement.
To this point no one has changed their point of view, just become more imbedded in it.
Second, you are confused because I made a judgement. We all make judgements even while telling others and being told not to judge others. Our senses make it impossible not to judge everything around us. In my post I quoted the ancient phrase, "judge ye not lest ye yourself be judged". I never said I wouldn't judge for my self. We all judge and we are judged in return.
Ultimately, both sides of this issue are not going to change their minds and name calling makes both sides angry. A lose/lose situation. My suggestion is to ignore whether one wears a mark or not, like ignoring their socks, unless you are officially tasked with the job of making sure masks are or are not required.
How did I do?

Lousy...
YOU are the one who typed "Judge not, lest you be judged", while you were judging others...
Your saying "stupid, selfish and ignorant" is somehow "nicer" than "virtue signaling" is, while hysterical, a futile attempt at rationalization... As is your "whataboutism" regarding "face diapers" or "covidiots"...
