Do we raise issues on the main article page but discuss them here, or also include concise responses on the main page as well.  I'll move my recent comment regarding "master" here if it was put in the wrong place.  --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 19:00, 20 February 2010 (EST)

:We're flexible, but perhaps it would work best if the extyended talk occurred here?  Of course, feel free to include concise counterpoint in the entry also. I'll try to do that now for your and Alex's comments.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:04, 20 February 2010 (EST)

==  Issue of "master" or "teacher" or ... "lord" ==

Because this is supposed to be a modern conservative translation, and the term "lord" doesn't really have any valence beyond the divine in modern times. House of Lords? Please, outdated nonsense. "Master" reeks of something with no relevance to the contemporary reader and evokes slavery and other relationships that are decidedly non-conservative in nature--today, we might use the term "boss," but if that's too colloquial, and if "supervisor" is too clumsy, "patron" perhaps?  (Alex)

:Agreed that "Lord" can be confusing when not referring to God, as in the passage "a man cannot serve two masters".  The word "master" actually works better than almost any synonym in most contexts; "patron" means something different, and "superior" is clumsy. (Chris)
