No disrespect, but asking everyone to remove words from the English language because they may offend a small group of oversensitive people is one of the most frustrating social initiatives of our time. "Master" makes sense for the job and unless we're also putting "Slave" and "Cotton" on the dictionary chopping block, the arguement will always seem arbitrary to me.
