Did we ever get an example of a 'moral fact'? I may have missed it.

That's nice and succinct.
It would help me a little if you could reword that without using the words where I think the errors might be... 'things', 'objectively', 'right' and 'wrong'.
I.e. please fill in the blanks with something less prone to equivocation:
"Moral realism states that __A__ are __B__ __C__ or __D__ based [upon] mind independent facts.
Examples might be:
A: current state; required state, etc.
B: quantitatively; qualitatively; independently measurable; goals-oriented; innately; intrinsically; without bias; unprejudiced; impartially, etc.
C: functioning; within accepted tolerance levels, corresponding to a correlation coefficient; insignificant, etc.
D: non-functioning; beyond a threshold tolerance, corresponding to a correlation coefficient; significant, etc.
Thanks in advance.

A proposition which you've not been able to demonstrate.
No need to demonstrate it, it's axiomatic i.e. by definition.
There is no morality at all if there is one (or less than one) subject.
'Feeling' is the anthropomorphic term for a sensory data event.
