Mw13, firstly 2 is not a majority. Secondly we have been through this discussion many times before, this is not the first thread so you might want to look up the other threads that were started, heated up and then closed. Tochacha is supposed to be given ONLY from a proper authority and only if the person will gain and listen. That is why a proper authority is needed. It is NOT to be given if the person will ignore it and keep doing the aveirah anyway. It is a true balancing act and therefore a reason NOT to get involved and butt into things that are not your business. It is best left to rabbonim and people that are close to the individual or at least know them and know their circumstances who know how to guide them in the right direction. It should never be given in a “negative” or “critical” way but in a way that is positive and guiding. There was a lot of information given back and forth in those discussions, it pays to review them.
