ORIGINAL: KnightofMists personally... my response would of been to ask the girl... "Was that the appropriate manner to express your opinion?" I would only accept a "Yes" or "NO" answer... cutting off any attempt to explain etc. Then ask..."So what is the appropriate manner to express your opinion" IE "Sir, I think it was a mistake that you starting smoking again" my response could of been.... "YES your right, it was a mistake" KoM, more of the reasons i like You Sir. Guidance and correction, much more effective over the long haul. Not that punishment doesn't have it's place, but i really think punishment in this case would have been a knee jerk reaction, and any sub or slave would have felt bad enough for having kicked the Man while He's down. i'd be dying for a chance to correct that offhand comment. to the OP.. feel for you! been there, done that, burned the t-shirt! :)
