When you artfully admonish others in public, the audience that do not know the details may think you're acting in good faith, and the one whose dignity is being insulted is just overreacting, but whether your intention is truly sincere is what I doubt.
So, to curb unnecessary retaliations and to keep the dignity of the other man from injury, management trainers will say: "praise in public, correct in private,” "admonish your friends privately, but praise them openly," or “praise and reward loudly, blame quietly,“ etc.
Some matters may require open and spontaneous reactions, so that it wouldn't look like you are condoning it for others to feel entitled to emulate. But in all other respects, I don't think it is cool to wait until there is a crowd around to write off another person. I believe criticisms are best appreciated when done without the presence of the public.
