“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.

I apply this 'rule' pretty consistently to all parts of my life.

Immediate family. Extended family. Neighbours. Work colleagues. Students. Clients. Close friends. Other friends. The people connected to the radio station in the UK that I produce shows for. The people I interact with here at RHP. Other online contacts.

I apply it to strangers in most circumstances.

It works well. Not everyone reciprocates. But it's a good rule to aspire to, nevertheless.

What about you?



@FMF

So whenever we use your own forum tactics against you, you just see it as us treating you as you would like to be treated, is that right?

Maybe you and FMF should try expanding your clique. Otherwise it just looks like you and him against the world.

I just now looked at this thread.

My my first reaction and initial response is, in all honesty, that I fail miserably to measure up to that standard. I would be a hypocrite if I said I was so virtuous.

Idealistically the "golden rule" rings true in ones thoughts, but in practical reality, and in my opinion, man is at his heart selfish and self centered.

I would be a hypocrite if I characterized myself as living a life where I would be comfortable saying I do more than try my best.

There are few Mother Teresa's among us.

Why in the world would someone thumb down your post?

It wasn't me.

It would be interesting, maybe, but consider the 5 thumbs down the OP received. Can any one poster make more than one thumbs down vote per post?

Five posters in collusion seems difficult to qualify, at least from my perspective. Although I suppose it's possible.

I wasn't one of them. I very rarely use the feature. In fact I hardly pay attention to it except for lately for some odd reason.
