I also saw something weird, too. For hours yesterday, it kept saying that the user Gae Bolga had the last post in this thread but every time I checked the last post was mine.

If you deem all statements about morality to be without meaning then how exactly are you saying that you ought to do or avoid doing anything, from a normative standpoint?

I'm not a nihilist. I think that nihilism and noncognitivism are incoherent.
