I would have thought that is kind of obvious. An assertive person is always polite. When complaining, you always gain more when you're firm and polite.

You would be surprised at how many assertive people are just plain rude and obnoxious. I have witnessed some awful behavior in public places.

Well, you can judge for yourself whether my reply to you on the other thread just now was assertive or obnoxious.
