You draw illogical and false conclusions about what someone would like from a discussion on whether rights are inhererent or created, and whether morals are inherent or created.

I don't think rights are inherent, nor morality. They are a creation of human history and language.

Yes, slavery could be seen as moral if society chose to do so, as moral is only a word to incompass what we consider okay.

To believe what I have just said, and I do believe it, does reflect my own feelings about slavery, nor anyone else's who holds that view. Nor give an indication that we would care to own slaves, nor how we would treat others.

Yes, a misrepresentation. And there is no reason to discuss it further. I can draw my own conclusion about why you chose to come into a discussion with a post about someone as you did.
