Public Humiliation through a Remark

Question

Hello. If a person hears another person in a group talking about financial investments he is making for his children, and he publicly says to him: "The real investment is ultimately in the virtues and Torah you instill in them." Is this considered public humiliation?

Answer

Hello 

It depends on the manner in which it was said. 

However, the words themselves are not public humiliation but rather a remark of faith.
