You do realize that moral platonism, is another name for moral realism? Morality existing in a platonic sense would be an objective sense.
No, platonism is not another name for moral realism. We know this, because a person does not have to be a platonist to be a realist. Neither the non-natural realist nor the natural realist are platonists. These three camps are simply not saying the same thing. I can understand your comments if I put myself into the shoes of a person who believed that this statement were true, but doing so explicitly acounts for why you got the whole bit wrong. So..we're done.....right?
