Ha! Good observation. Let's express our ideas and opinions and then have the courage to defend them, if called for.
If a thread is discussing or debating something, I don't believe it's intolerant or judgemental to tell someone you think they are wrong. You then explain why you think your way or position is right or better. There's nothing wrong with that. It's not a command.
The problem comes in when someone joins a long thread-debate in progress and doesn't bother reading all the many previous posts. For example, they may read the first few posts and then skip to the last two. Then based on that they can easily get the wrong impression and make a judgement based on that impression. They don't get the true spirit of the debate.
