Both statements require reading as That which you find hateful [if you were them] or lehavdil  as you would want others to do to you [if you were in the same situation. Neither works if you do not expect the person to account for differences in situation, personality, and desires. My enjoyment of philosophy lectures doesnt legitimize my boring others with them.

Larry, as for your defense of the positive phrasing, you are presuming a different definition of ethical and saying you do not want inequity because of it. Rolling the morality into the want. You saved the thesis by dethroning it, by saying that it stands AFTER one decides he wants to preserve equality of tzalmei E-lokim.

The Golden Rule, by the way, would require my giving away all I own to the next person I meet, wait hand on foot on others, etc… Taken at its word, the creed is un-livable.)

Really?  I dont want you to give me all your wealth, or wait on me hand and foot.  One reason for this is that I recognize that given our spiritual equality (each of being btzelem elokim) there is no reason to prefer me over you in these matters.

The problem with that which is hateful to you dont do to others is that things that are hateful to me may be desirable to them.  I think any one sentence rule of morality is going to be over-broad.
