For me and from the mods that I know very well, it isn't that WE judge, but more that WE JUDGE OURSELVES more rigorously. In other words, we realize that our "status" means that there are many more who will look to us for help, information and inspiration. I, for one, take this very seriously. I never know WHO or HOW my words may impact another.
Remember people, the pen is mightier than the sword.
