I would agree. But I also would agree with Sandee that it seems a little much to make the first comment on the subject in a public meeting.
Unless the thrust of the meeting was about the tendency of people to flock to their regular subgroup, or clique, in contrast to a message concerning shepherding, or mutual respect, or some such thing. But in that case, you generally wouldn't call out three among many, even in a small way. You would be pointing to the tendency of the people as a whole. Sort of like Paul did in the first 4 chapters of 1 Corinthians.
If it were truly individual, then even if it was not something that Lee had against them in a Matt 18 kind of way, he should first speak to them alone. So for such a "man of God" to act in this kind of manner suggests a problem with the claim to be such a "man of God."
