[Ham] Thanks, Craig, but I think your conclusion is insupportable. I could be wrong, but I believe a sadomasochist will inflict harm when HE wants to, whether his victim (participant?) "wants" it or not. Yes, you could be wrong. If the sadomasochist inflicts harm when HE wants to, whether his victim (participant?) "wants" it or not, then he is not following the Golden Rule, so is not an exception. He is following a rule like: Do unto others as you want.
