Pashuteh –
The glass house bit, you are alluding to, is a non-Jewish concept. You are trying to deduce that it is improper for ANYONE to correct anyone else, “since no one is perfect.” In Torah Judaism, a Yid is OBLIGATED to give tochacha. You, like so many other mitzvos, would like that repealed and reformed.
If Judaism ever finished reforming itself to your specifications, there would be nothing left of it. In fact, the “Reform” and “Conservative” movements are just that.
Yes, yes, I know, how dare you be corrected. How “kanaish.”

Actually, Joseph, in the Iggrot Chazon Ish, he cautions us against giving tochachah in our (i.e his generation) since it will proboably not have the desired affect, but rather the opposite one. The Chazzon Ish actually recommends against it.Additionally, in hsi Darchei haHora’ah, the Maharitz Chajes brings literally scores of examples where the nosei keilim to the Shulchan Arukh and other poskim describe a widely accepted abberant practice but then decide to do nothing about it based on “mutav sheyihiu shoggegin velo meizidin.” When, if and how to give tochachah seems not to be as simple as you seem to think.
