Craig -- I'm having trouble following your logic.
This dialogue started with Marsha saying that the Golden Rule supports sadomasochism. I saw her point, and you seemed to agree: > The sadomasochist is not an exception to the Golden Rule. > They would have you physically harm them when they want you to, > so they should only physically harm you when you want them to. I replied: > I could be wrong, but I believe a sadomasochist will inflict harm > when HE wants to, whether his victim (participant?) "wants" it or not. You then said: > 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. If the sadomasochist (by my definition) follows another rule, then his behavior is an exception to the Golden Rule. --Ham Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
