If morals have grey areas then they are not objective/absolute.

By that, I just mean they are dependent on circumstances, but that they are still objective within those circumstances.

Example:

The morality of yelling at someone is a grey area. 

It is objectively wrong to yell at a random person simply because you are having a bad day and need someone to take your anger out on, even though the person has nothing to do with why you are upset. 

It is objectively not wrong to yell at someone you just caught abusing your child.

bold mine

Sorry, as far as I'm concerned all that describes is subjective/relative. 

If the person laughs at your bad day rant, what then? Oops, relative/subjective. 

If the someone does not know it's abuse? If only you consider it abuse but I don't? 

I doubt we will ever agree.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
