-and yet another way to express the above. Ultimately, you need to decide whether your primary affinity in objection is to subjectivism, or that some realists moral schema x -may be wrong-.
Subjective things cannot -be- wrong. Wrong or false is not a property of subjectivism. Subjectivist propositions just flat out -are- brute facts..of the subject. They cannot even be in error, lol. If we demur to subjectivist objections we simply lose any ability to criticize the given standard as the wrong standard, or a standard built on sand. All standards are equally right, and all are equally valid and robust and rock fucking solid.
Ethical error theory rejects ethical subjectivism, fundamentally and by definition. Because of this, I can't give you a satisfying answer to two contradictory an disparate propositions, simultaneously..as a realist. Error theory asserts that there -is- a right answer, but we have it wrong.....,. subjectivist theory asserts that all answers are the right answer for the subject in question, there is no wrong answer. Error theorists and realists are both talking out of their asses.
The only "manner" in which I have approached this argument is in showing that your arguments haven't established your conclusions. Everything else that you think I am doing is just a straw man that exists only in your imagination. If you feel I cannot win by this strategy then I think you have woefully failed to accurately assess my strategy. How have you sensibly replied to my showing that you haven't adequately supported your conclusion? By simply mindlessly repeating failed objections, creating straw men which you gleefully knock down, and claiming victories that you have not earned. There is nothing "sensible" in any of that.
