I think one of the confusing points for some, at least it was for me and still can be if I think about it enough, is that many call self proclaimed dominants by "master".

It's like if there is all this splitting hairs over what is a dominant and what is a master, why call dominants "master"? I've even had self proclaimed dominants tell me to call them "master". And not just chatroom denizens. But dominants I've been involved with. I've also seen submissives call their self-proclaimed dominants "master".

I just think it's screwy is all.
