Confronting in public not always an aggressive act

A lot of readers have been reacting negatively to the idea of confronting people in a public forum. Just as there is a difference between being assertive and being aggressive, there is a difference between confronting and harassing.

If I assertively confront someone in public, this does not result in “shards of glass litter- ing the streets.” I am saying what I have to say, hopefully in a respectful manner. I am a firm believer in letting our leaders know where we stand and where we disagree with their stances. This is especially the case when it affects many people negatively.

Confronting does not have to have a negative connotation. Stephanie Hobbs, Hollywood
