"We would all agree that killing people is a bad thing to do"

Ah, no, all people do not agree with that. That's why there are prisons full of such people. Why should they? Or are you perhaps willing to grant yourself the very thing you would deny others, the "right" to determine their own morality.

"Moral relativists have to decide what to believe, rather than allowing someone else to decide for them."

Some moral relativists like killing people, are they wrong?

"we have, by our own relative criteria, decided that they are undesirable. This is not a moral judgement at all."

As soon as you step out of the realm of personal opinion into the public square, your opinions cease to become that and they become "moral judgements". I think you are deluding yourself if you think otherwise.
