> act only as you would want others to act towards you So if I'm a masochist I should be sadistic to other people? Any ethical rule can be misused if you leave

  Exactly - I'm no fan of that maxim either, but it is definitely better than Kant's version in the sense that at least the doer will have the same potentially done to them.

    Well, that is exactly the point of the Kant maxim also.

      How do Kant's rules imply the need for common sense?

  "So if I'm a masochist I should be sadistic to other people?" Only if you want to be set on fire by arsonists.
