akbarbarian -> RE: I'm a Master (4/29/2007 11:14:39 PM)

It looks like not only am I posing, but I'm in a parade as I'm now paraded from general BDSM discussion to polls and random stupidity. My post was actually a serious experement in disguise, to observe what knee jerk reactions are out there. "Master" seems to be a signal word with an emotionally charged response in those who hear it. I have long had the sense that it is not viewed as appropriate to identify as one without somehow earning the title, somehow like it might be frowned upon for a smart person to be called a "Genius" but it is ok for others to pay that title as a compliment. Outside of interpersonal relationships, the word Master is applied to things without a stigma like this. Questions of "Is this person worthy to be called Master" directly expressed or implied in one way or another seem to no end to pop up. I'd be curious what others have to say on the topic.
