Person
Whatever is available at that particular moment as I am impulsive and like to handle business right then. Ideally in person is always best
Define "confront"! I don't do this "confront" thing.

Definitely in person! Every other way whether it be by email or phone etc would be cowardly and unfair.
Typically in person.
e-mail. When I try to talk to someone on the phone or in person I never feel like I express all the things I want to express or that the person understands where I'm coming from. When I can write it out I can get all the emotions, thoughts, history, etc included in the confrontation.
e-mail. Sometimes, it is passive-agressive. Many times, the recipient reads too much into the tone of the e-mail.
On the other hand, (for work related stuff), I have documentation.
Never on the phone. I don't like to do anything on the phone.
Even when I do it face-to-face, I usually write it all out first to get my thoughts organized.

I think the body language is just as important as the words being said. And it's harder to misinterpret things.

I agree wholeheartedly babe. I love having conversations with you in person because it's so much easier to talk to you. That's why I like talking about important things with you in person. And alone. When it's just me and you.

Depends on the issue. In person usually, but if I am afraid I'll lose my temper I'd rather do it via text/email.
