Greetings Dangrus..... quote:

"Why would he? They are all on Gor. Just as I don't need to clarify that I'm an Earthly man. " In the books, most everyone was Gorean by virtue of the fact that they were born on that planet. However, perhaps I wasn't clear. Norman referred to several as " a Gorean man or a Gorean woman." But I don't recall him ever describing someone as *a* Gorean Master/Mistress. They were simply free Goreans. Yep, it's semantics. But I find a lot of the important parts of the Gorean tenets are in the subtleties. Wish you well, ~Dangrus Kirata is correct about the usage if you are just asking if the two words were ever used in combination. They certainly were. Gorean (adj.) modifying Master (noun) in exactly the same context, from the occurrences I looked at as the term Earth Master. You are right that it was used to denote someone from the planet Gor, not a title in its own right. Perhaps an analogy could be made to a Shintoist Master versus a Presbyterian Master as different styles of slave ownership. No, I have no clue what the differences would be. <grins> You make them up. What it never is, and I agree with you here, is a title, rank or achievement. That is what makes it such a wonderful filter to weed out the clueless and the gamers who pretend to be Gorean when they call themselves a "Gorean Master". Be well.... Malkinius
