OP I learned something new today. Plutarch started a thread called the Golden Rule and call the quote "do unto others as they'd do unto you" the Golden Rule.
I have a wordy questions so I'll not hyjack his thread (which wouldn't be very polite on my part) and start a new one.
I didn't know that quote was called the Golden Rule. Isn't it a bible quote?
Generally, I've heard the term used to mean "the most important rule of (insert subject here)"
So how did golden rule come about? I've peeped through the internet but seem to be the only one on this planet who can't manage to find what I'm looking for.
Oh wait, I'll try the OneLook thing...I'll get back to you.
