In that case, since I can't edit my comment I will at least withhold judgement. It would have been more clear if the link went to the Logon. Forgive me if I spoke too soon... I'm often too jusgemental.

| Seems like you're all a little judgemental. |
I think that as responsible people we have an obligation to judge. I think that a fear of being judged poorly is a control in our society. I further think that judging within a group will improve (more on this in a second) one's powers of judgment.
The hard part about judging is finding balance. I tell my kids that they should assume people are good. But I also tell them that if there a person who looks wrong walking toward you, move away from them. There's a thin line between reasonable pre-judging based on experience and wisdom and prejudice based on fear and stereotype.
I think there are things that we all want to do or have wanted to do in the past that society as a whole may not have approved of. Maybe things that aren't illegal but just not right. What defines "not just right"? Other people. Other people judging you. It's a good thing.
The function of group judgment should be wicked strong (as they might say in Boston). The trick there is the group that's doing the judgment. If the judging group is not a sampling of the greater whole; instead, is a group that might reinforce the behavior being judged; all benefits of judgment is lost. If the fear of being judged harshly is stopping a person from revealing a behavior, perhaps they need to evaluate stopping that behavior.

This is simply spam aka self-promotion of something which is NOT skinning related.
Not even the pretext of being such with the perfunctory link to some new logon/whatever.
