Do you think that stating that begging the question is wrong is, more accurately, just you saying "yuck", and not expressing any belief about begging the question or wrongness? There's your potential moral idea that isn't predicated on negative feelings. Can you tell me -why- begging the question is wrong.
I'm not going to argue with you on that point at all.
You don't even need to explain it...but if some explanation for why you said that, and think that, does come to your mind......instead of just "yuck!" - then you have your example, and it's one of your own positions.
As to disagreeing with my semantics..well..fine. Change any word I've used that you like, I'll still be talking about the same thing - I will still be explaining the position of moral realism to you, and noting all of the ways that you accept the realists position...even though you reject their language. The fact of having feelings are -subjectivists- moral facts....as I keep explaining to you, not to demonstrate realists moral facts, but to show you that the statement "there are no moral facts" is inconsistent with subjectivism and realism.
The subjectivist states that there are moral facts - and these facts are all mind dependent.
