Unfortunately treating others how you would like to be treated,
doesn't always work. Imagine what the Marquis de Sade would have made
of the golden rule: he liked being hurt so he could use it to justify
hurting others. Most prosetylisers imagine that if they didn't already
believe they would like to be converted.
As Bernard Shaw wrote in Man and Superman, "Do not do unto others as
you would have them do unto you: their tastes may not be the same".
