I will challenge your one size fits all mentality for not understanding that there are indeed, times to call people out publicly for their wrongs.
We call out criminals publicly. We also have a mandate to call out heretics who are trying to pollute the church with false doctrine.
"For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work."
The point of such discipline is two-fold. First, protect those who are susceptible to corruption of the false teaching. Second, discipline so that the person learns the error of their way, and is restored to fellowship, having repudiated and abandoned their false beliefs.
