There is a difference between "judgement" and disagreement.
Judgement is based on the pre-supposition that the one judging knows all the answers and is the only qualified arbiter.

If you have a basic underlying assumption that people are only valuable when they're right, and worthless when they're wrong, then it's easy to come across as judgemental.
