alt Hacker NewsJudge people by actions not what they say.
You are arguing the opposite, that we should judge by what they say and not what they do?

Judge their actions, consider what they say as given in good faith and praise or criticize.
To judge the people is to pretend you know why they did or said something.
The problem is that people have a million stories to explain the observed actions, most of those stories are bullshit, and people repeating them know fuck all about the decision-space in which these actions were chosen and taken.
