I did not read that sub v slave thread the same way as you did, I saw a bunch of humor and people making light of the fact that the question gets asked a lot. I did not see any moral judgment on anyone... I saw some observations made about the post due to what was written on the OP's profile. I sincerely did not see anything mean spirited on that thread... I have seen mean spiritedness on CM, but not in that case.
As to why people are judgmental, because they often do not know themselves, or they are fearful of that which is different from them, or they fear other perspectives. I read one sub that seemed judgmental about people who play the first time they meet, which is something I did with my Dom.... but the thing is, I do not care about the approval of random strangers on the internet... there is only one person's approval that matters to me, so you all can judge away[:D]. If more people became secure within themselves about their life choices and who they are, those who are judgmental would not matter.
It is better to make fun of oneself before other people get the opportunity to do it for us, and those who can laugh at themselves, and do not take things so seriously are usually happier people. I have a serious streak in me myself, but I find that if I can laugh at myself, it takes the sting out of what anyone else thinks or says to me or about me. There is no internet community that I have ever seen that walked on egg shells for the thin skinned, it just isn't going to happen.
