Relativism is different from subjectivism. Most members here, it seems, are of the subjectivist position when it comes to morality, not relativism.
How I see it is moral subjectivism is about feelings and preferences determining what's individually or universally right and wrong. Relativism is about accepting that the moral standards of other individuals or cultures should be respected no matter what.
