What do you mean by "an appropriate reproach?

What I mean is simply this:
I Timothy 5:1 "Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, 2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity."

We need to reproach another person with great humility, with the intent that repentance take place and reconciliation occur. We should not be overly harsh with a person. Use a tack hammer for a tack and a big hammer for an 8 penny nail and not the other way around.
