I was just reading tsuwm's "WARNING: Off topic post" and it suddenly occurred to me that that some rules are more important than others. And the ONLY rule which is really, really important, no-one ever posts a "WARNING" about.

It's the one rule everyone can agree on. It's the one rule that binds us all together. It's the one rule that will put a smile on everyone's face --- and keep it there.

It's called "the Golden Rule".

I didn't invent it so I don't feel bashful about quoting it:

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Ain't it beautiful. It makes all the other rules look like playskool.

I don't think anyone is going to bash the Golden Rule. Do you?

Correct Biblical Quotation [supplied by Zed in "Golden Rule" thread]:

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore whatever you want others to do for you, do so for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (NAS)
