Surely you agree that punishment comes in degrees. What's the smallest degree you'd be willing to call punishment? Would "consequences" be a better word? To my thinking "punishment" is just "negative consequences"
I don't want to go back over what is meant by consequences in terms of penalties or sanctions for speech which satisfy a need for punishment & what are natural consequences of responding to speech with speech or with negative evaluation of a person's ethics or judgement.

Hey, no worries -- I probably should have RTed rather than replied -- my original post was more or less just me thinking out loud. Feel free to ignore me. Never hard feelings
