If there’s a hole there’s a goal
Some guy: I don’t know if I should go for that person, they’re pretty weird
Some dude named Elijah: Well, if there’s a hole there’s a goal, that’s the golden rule after all!
Your willingness to forgo this for the purpose of hoisting me by my own petard demonstrates that hoisting people with there own petard is higher on your conceptual value hierarchy than The Golden Rule.
Hym "This is (once again) does little more than prove me right. See, look:

Golden rule
See how that works? That☝️ is what you're doing right now. Why? Because you know that The Golden Rule leads almost exclusively to being exploited by people who aren't willing to reciprocate. Which is the entire impetus behind the creation of The Platinum Rule. And you're doing it. See? This 👇

That's how you 'Act' in spite of your ethical propositional framework. Do you believe in the Golden rule? 'Well, I act like I believe in the golden rule (and then I do this 👉 Petard hoistery

Not petard hoistery)'
That's you. That's a diagram of you and how you 'act.' "

When a commissioner in fantasy football make up a rule in the season to make sure a certain nigga is booked.
That trade is denied because the player name starts with a C. Revenge rule
Of all the artists that pretended to be his best friend in the late 90's and early 2000's, not one of them came to his defense when the 600 pound gorilla 50 cent started to bully him. Not Jasper-Z, not DMX the bring it to the yard dude, none of those guys were going to stand up to 50 cent, it was almost like they enjoyed seeing Ja Rule spiral downward, it was like they ordered popcorn for the show. You wouldn't really want guys like DMX or Jay-Z by your side if 50 cent walked in to the bar ready to fight somebody in real life if their real life behavior is anything like what they do with their "friend" in the music industry.
Ja rule is the kind of guy nobody who knew him remembers now, and if they weren't alive or were young (single digit years) around the millenium, they most likely never even heard of the guy. He had about five minutes if that much in the spotlight then nobody heard from him since.
A guy that most people would think of as bad publicity or a way to lose money if seen with him these days. A guy most artists that made songs with him in the late 90's early 2000's would no longer sit with at the cool "grown" kids status table.
If Ja Rule was at a bar with Jay Z and DMX and 50 cent walked in, not only would he have to give his seat up to 50 cent, but Jay Z and DMX would help 50 cent drag their "friend" Ja Rule out of the bar.
None of the artists pretending to be Ja Rule's friend in the late 90's to early 2000's came to his defense when the 600 pound gorilla 50 cent started to bully him. Jasper-Z (the badass gangster) and DMX (the guy that talked about fighting and jail often) were quick to make songs/money with the guy, but didn't stand up to 50 cent when he started to push people in their circle. Instead they ordered popcorn to watch the show (despite calling themselves something like impassive, or the opposite of passive/hardasses). These are not the kind of guys you would want by your side if 50 cent walked into a bar ready to fight somebody in real life, not if their real life behavior was anything like what they did with their music industry "friend".
If ja rule was at a bar with Jay-Z and DMX and 50 cent walked in, he'd be fucked, he'd have to give up his seat to 50 cent without any other option.
