Goodness is a natural property is also not a normative statement (for whatever that's worth - dictive...indifference...of...logic.....), and yet natural realism is a normative moral system. There is no rule or logic behind the insistence that a given sentence be normative in order for normatives to be coherently derived from the system. Just as there is no logic or rule behind the insistence that normative statements can't be coherently expressed in or derived from non-cognitivism.
These are the sorts of non rules I'm referring to. The sorts of non rules I've been giving you examples for that compellingly argue to the contrary. Just take the time to google any of those statements or positions or people, and even though you may still disagree with me about whether or not nihilism can be a morality, you'll understand why the restrictions and obstacles you've been placing aren't an issue. It may still be true that nihilism isn't a morality, or lacks some feature required to be so. Just not for any non-rule you've yet attempted to employ.
I think you mentioned (in reference to some criticism of me, ofc, lol....) that it wasn't really important whether we agreed (or disagreed, I assume) - but that the reasons for our agreement were important and that we should look into why we think what we do.
