I think before Vinny derailed this discussion thread with his clownish knockabout, we were having an interesting exchange. I believe I have already answered your question here and here.
My impression was that most of the people posting were stating that morality is subjective. With around 150 posts so far I can only scan read some of them. We have at least one moral realist, and I hope he'll forgive me for overlooking his objection to address the subjective morality question, which I will inquire about further in my next post.
