    I think it depends. I find that, hypocritical as it is, when I am in a bad mood or feeling angry or depressed about something, I am much quicker to judge people. I don't think consciously I do it to feel better but as you say this I think maybe subconsciously I do. When I do post something sarcastic it is not to make me feel better but more my personality and the way I can show this is not someone I take seriously. Of course, why I don't just ignore the question in the first place would be the real issue I suppose.

    Normally, I try not to judge people but I am not always successful.

    I don't need to resort to such pettiness in order to feel better, I react to stupidity esp when it is willful. In that respect, yes I do feel better because hopefully they will learn from it and refrain from such juvenile behavior in the future.

    no i don't have time to sit around and judge people

    i have better things to worry about than, what a person does or acts.

    unless the question is directed or concerns me, i don't get involved

    i don't need to judge anyone, b/c i understand that we are all not perfect beings, and we all make mistakes, so why would i judge anyone!
