There aren't any point-of-view problems here. MatteeNeutra is confusing "facts" with "facts about opinions." The article paraphrases the Golden Rule, and the reader can judge the accuracy of that paraphrase. It states that a version of the Golden Rule is found throughout religious history and supports that statement with example. It contains one questionable sentence, the one beginning "many consider," but I have very little doubt that statement could be supported. The difficulty would be finding anyone except George Bernard Shaw who would challenge it.

There aren't any point-of-view problems here. MatteeNeutra is believes that facts ''about'' opinions are automatically non-neutral because they are ''about'' opinions. That's incorrect.
