No, he is being a good and loving Dom who recognizes that punishment should be proportional to the infraction, and who recognizes that how the two of you “do D/s” is your decision, not those bunch of people, who sound like idiots to me. 

Wow. I have never had a munch experience like this where I was forced to answer some question, let alone being judged for that response. Hopefully you can find a different munch in your area, anon. I’ve been to several in my area, and zero of them has been like this.

Ahahah!  What a total violation of munch protocol!  Also D/S protocol!  

Not to sound prickly but it’s roughly the equivalent of asking the Exhibitionists to go around and flash their asses.  And then calling someone bad a bad Exhibitionist because they didn’t want to.

“Oh, but we’re only talking about erotic punishments so it’s ok.”  No, you’re talking about group humiliation-play on all the Subs.

The “good” news is that it sounds like the munch was for folks who share a very particular and narrow definition of “high protocol” or somesuch nonsense.  The bad news is that, like a lot of “communities” they manage to alienate pretty much everyone who doesn’t share that particularly narrow definition.

There’s a reason why the vast majority of kinksters don’t get involved in the local “community.”  It’s usually because it’s not really much of a community at all.

That said!  There’s also nothing wrong with saying “wait a minute, is this really appropriate for a munch?”  Even if you’re new.  It’s one of those “see something, say something” situations.
