You gave me three paragraphs without articulating the Golden Rule. Can you do it?

Don't be an ass. Until you give me a reason why I should waste time on such an endeavor, when it is clear that I not only know all about the Golden Rule but could cut-n-paste ad nauseum even if I didn't, I'm not going to deign to press the keys on my keyboard to acommodate a desire on your part that serves no obvious purpose. I see no evidence that doing so would be anything other than a waste of my time.

The myriad of expressions of the Golden Rule are all quaint heuristics that are derivable from core theorems of game theory. Those who do not grok this do not grok the Golden Rule. I have a suspicion that you place yourself among that number.

Let me understand this: providing a 10 word answer is a waste of time while writing 200 or 300 words without giving an answer isn't?
