Rhabbi....

i can only speak for myself on this...

Mistakes do happen, and they don't make me feel awkward as long as they are openly discussed and resolved. i would rather have an honest conversation, with my Dom admitting a mistake (not that He ever makes one... grins) and U/us working together on a solution then for the mistake to not be acknowledged or even ignored.

Since the relationship is built on trust, and for me trust is built on respect it is very important for me to trust my Dom and that can only occur when He realizes that He is human and mistakes happen. When the topic is avoided or the blame deflected back to someone/something else and it is never discussed my respect for Him falters and in turn the trust i have in Him. (If that makes any sense at all...)

As to if a public mistake deserves a public apology... well that i am not so sure on...the acknowledgment (not even an apology) is more important then the location/venue it is in.
