This is a fancified false-dichotomy. Of course an opinion can be correct or incorrect, when we are actually able to compare it to relevant facts. The problem occurs when you have nothing factual for comparison -- which is clearly the case here. Where are these factual morals stored? What library? It's nice that you have an opinion. But it is only your opinion unless and until you demonstrate its factuality with appealing to word salad.

What those opinions are grounded in determines the accurate classification of the assertion in general and in moral systems or assertions, in the semantics I'm using.
You can use your semantics all you want. If you're claiming that objective facts can be based o subjective feelings, you're abusing the language.
I'll return to this discussion when you shitcan the word-games. This shit bores me.
