Nice pun but it is a mixing of premises. A relativist MUST believe that his/her belief is his/her belief (call it right because it comes to the same thing). Again: a relativist believes that what is right corresponds to what each individual fancies (I don't know what other word to use) to be right. Further, I have heard you speak of relativism as being able to represent a moral code or position. I have also heard you say that morality requires more than one person to have meaning. However, relativism always views right as relative, and from the arguer's position (yours) that means you. You cannot both state than relativism can hold moral value, while at the same time holding that morality must include more than the subject. These are questions. It is not important that anyone win here. It is important for me, that we learn.
