Hmm. I've never encountered a situation like this. But oh, if that happened to me, I'd be livid. "Master" to me does not just mean he is my owner. "Master" is the title of my owner, my lover, my partner, my leader, and my dearest friend. And indeed, if someone were to call him "Master", I would speak up with my objection immediately--some of you might say that is wrong of me or that it is not my place to do so, but in my relationship with my Master, it is--not only am I not restricted in speaking my mind, but I am required to at all times. I also think that he would feel rather awkward, even affronted, being addressed as "Master" by another, so the sentiment is not just my own. That title is for me and me only to call him by--I can be a very jealous person at times, and I'm rather proud of being Master's one and only pet. So yes, I would be quite offended if someone else were to use that title to refer to him--if they absolutely must, "Sir" would be fine as a general term of respect. It's no different than (in a setting where he was just my boyfriend and nothing more) another girl referring to him as her boyfriend or lover. It would be untrue, disrespectful, and thus unacceptable. So there's my incredibly strong opinion on the subject. I do apologize for helping to reanimate a 2-year-old thread, but it caught my eye and interested me to reply.
