Then yes it is important to say something.

One thing i learnt early on in sobriety is that i have to face issues i have with people head on. The mad thing is that once it's sorted out the issue isn't half as big as i originally thought. It only gets big if i dwell on it and not sort it out, chances usually are the other person has only given it a little thought.

I never liked confrontation, i would always back down or back off then dwell on it. What i have learnt now is that confrontation is a necessary evil, it has to be done to keep me sober.
