70. Taking someone else's inventory is an old alcoholics anonymous saying.
One of the 12 steps is to take an inventory of your past wrong doings and make amends for them. When you point out other people's wrong doings that's called taking someone else's inventory.

Yes there is something wrong with informing people of the consequences of their actions. That puts you in the position of a moral authority. You are not anyone's moral authority.

Like I suggested, read up on "reaction formation" and find out what is bugging you about you. Then you will not feel the need to take other people's inventory.
