Do unto others as they would do unto you .....
I think the saying presumes that you're not a spiteful, vindictive, soulless bitch. It presumes maturity and depth. It also presumes that there are some culturally accepted norms that we as society deem ideal.
On a relationship level...
Not cheating within the confines of a relationship just because your SO has.
Not keying someone's car out of revenge.
Not invading someone's privacy by going through their phone...
Thus the idea is what is done unto you would normally be desired by someone else. Using the above examples, most don't want to be cheated on, have their stuff vandalized or privacy invaded.
It's a common sense barometre for those of us who lack a moral compass. But there are those who believe themselves to be the judge and jury in matters to which they can not exercise control. Because they generally lack self-control, they often take the most childish route possible to enact their revenge.
What's ironic is that by lowering themselves and not abiding by this basic tenant, karma comes for them too...and often 10 fold because the revenge was specifically done to infuse pain. Thus I think those that break the rule after it has been previously broken are worse than the original offender.

Social norms don't exist ... that is unless every person is exactly the same.
There can be no measure of socially acceptable, for there is no person who can set the scale for anyone except themselves.
And I wasn't just talking about negative energy, which is what everybody apparantly thought I meant and only referenced a negative mood. I'm talking about all the time.
You are you, and you can only make the decision what is acceptable to you ..... you cannot make the decision what is acceptable treatment of another person ... therefore, if you treat a person like you want to be treated, then you have an expectation that they are to honor you, specifically, disregarding how they desire of treatment unto them.
Social norms do exist. An example of which is laws. Most abide them. Without a social contract...social norms there wouldn't be a society.
As a society we do determine what behavior is acceptable. When the norm is broken, there are consequences and society juges you for your ill acts.

How about "I want to be treated like an individual" and so treating others as such?
