   I didn't judge anyone, I commented on generic bad   
   behavior that you wrote about. You're right we are   
   not anyone's judge, but we are instructed to rebuke   
   a sinner who sins against us:   
      
   [quoting] "So watch yourselves! If another believer   
   sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance,   
   forgive." [end quote] Luke 17:3
