Heh.
I think that manners are incredibly important, no matter what side of the whip you're on. So I will be as polite as possible when in ANY group of people, and will expect the same from them. Submission and obedience, for me, is reserved solely for my dominant. I would behave exactly the same in a group of dominants as I would in a group of submissives or a group of vanilla people: I would engage in the conversation, make eye contact, try not to interrupt or be rude, argue my points with civility and logic and occasional humor, and otherwise conduct myself as a civilized and well-mannered person. That's because all those groups are, to me, exactly the same. They're all made up of people. People, to me, get the full measure of human-to-human consideration and respect, until and unless they demonstrate that they deserve less than that (and this happens a lot, with dominants, submissives and whatevers), or they deserve more (in which case, I will attempt to attach myself like a limpet. *grin*). I'm not going to make some huge screaming scene about it, though, no matter what...I'll simply remove myself from the presence of the people who aren't worthy of my time, and endeavor to spend more time with the people I respect and admire. The idea that I'd change my behavior or get all hysterical about speaking 'out of turn,' or, for example, cede an argument I was winning, just because the person I was talking to styled him or herself 'dominant,' is completely alien to me.
Should my dominant require specific and more detailed behavior of me, beyond this, in a public place, I would reply upon him to let me know in detail, so I wouldn't misstep. But that's the baseline. I don't think it makes me a SAM or a pushy sub, just...y'know....a person. *grin*
