It may just be an issue of semantics, but if someone is doing something 'wrong' I say something with a tone of expectation that they will correct their action. At that point it is up to them to make a choice.
For example, a kid cut in line in front of GC, CM and others at a US trip last year. I basically said (in some sort of fashion) that his action was inappropriate. I did not yell or threaten. I simply let him know that what he was doing was wrong and did not back down. I did not tell the kid he had to leave - I let him make that decision on his own.
Admittedly, being a big guy is also helpful. I never threaten anyone with my size. But I am not hesitant to let people know that should they elect to use a physical resolution, the odds may not be in their favor.
