Your interpretation of the Golden Rule paves the way for any RPG book author to have a convenient excuse for any poorly written work. Telling me that I should write my own start to the adventure because the way it was written is poor and/or boring is an unacceptable excuse. I paid for it, and I expect to be able to enjoy it without having to overhaul it. I'm sorry, but that's like saying "We sold you a dishwasher, it doesn't work, build your own."
There are extents to which the Golden Rule can work, but when it becomes an excuse for sloppy writing, I'm not buying it.
And you are right - other people may have enjoyed this module, and if so, more power to them. This was not a capsule review, it was a playtest review where I felt I had to relate to my and my players' feelings towards it. As always, everyone's milage may greatly vary.
Finally, thanks to everyone for their comments on this review.
