To me, this depends upon the nature of the "infraction". While I, also, firmly believe in "discipline in private/praise in public" (Huah!), there are times when, if a submissive offers some personal "insult" to me, in public, she will be corrected, immediately. I don't really do physical punishment so, it would be, possibly, a public "chastisement". Again that's if the situation warrented it. I have always held the belief that, even in the 'nilla world where people see us a "just a couple", how other people treat me will be based upon how they see her treating me (to some degree). But, in a kind of contrast to what I stated above, I believe the converse is true ie; how I treat her is how others will treat her. That's what balances out the whole "public punishment" thing to me. Suffice it to say that if she insults me, in public, we have some deeper issues which need to be worked out, in private. I do like the example given of the un-asked for cigarette. Plain, simple, enforcement of his will without un-necessary embarrassment. Sometimes, it's necessary. It's not like he could let her smoke a little bit of the cigarette while he told her that they needed to "go off to a corner" to have a little chat. Peace and comfort, Michael
