I think judgement has kind of been made in to a dirty word. There are simpler ideas it is associated with, such as if you think of 'judging distance' it has a more neutral kind of tone which is more like discernment as Verum suggested.
However, I do actually agree with what you are saying in the judgement is primarily a manner of comparison. Even judging distance you do so by a comparison of different measures, so I would agree that any judgement upon others is also stemming from self-judgement because the basis for comparison will always be yourself. So any time you observe and contemplate another in juxtaposition to yourself it is a manner of judgement.
What most people refer to when they say 'judgemental' is a form of judgement whereby that comparison is always skewed in the favour of the judge. So really, I think when most people are bothered by judging it is because it is viewed as a superiority complex.
Again though. I agree, I think all judgement is a manner of self-contrast so it's impossible to do so without relating to yourself.
