No need. I do not believe you got the point. I stated the simplest and most common objection to the golden rule as a basis for deciding how to act. I just wanted to point out that it is a very simplistic principle that can not be used without modifying it or interpreting it. And even than it is not trivially true that it is a good principle. Another symptom of oversimplification is the refusal to use good terms that enhance the discussion. Instead you choose to conflate different concepts which will lead to bad discussions.
