I don't understand. Of course others have the right to judge your behavior.

Why is that an of course?

Do I have the right to judge your behavior? If so, what on earth gives me that right?

I may do it, but that doesn't mean I have the right. Just the ability and desire, which are very different things.

Well, this is obvious. The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness certainly contains the right to think! Only a nut would claim you have no right to assess your environment!
