    It depends from what perspective you make a judgement, to be judgemental may be unethical, then again, it may not be if the judgement is rational and intelligent.

    A judgement could also be made on ethical grounds, in which case it is ethical, unless you use another paradox and ask yourself, are ethics always ethical in the greater scheme of things?

    The very word ‘ethical’ implies judgement, indeed. Without judgement, no ethics. In the greater scheme of things judgement, and by it: ethics, do(es) not exist. Remember: paradise was before we ate from the fruit of the tree of right and wrong, and ethics were born :-)
