I've been up for 27 hours. 1.5 hours sleep and get ready for work--talk later.

You said:
You cannot both state than relativism can hold moral value, while at the same time holding that morality must include more than the subject.


I don't really remember saying that. I do remember this one:

Message 14481177


Me:
When I referred to "taking positive action" I meant parenthetically "against others in defense of your principles". I didn't mean any action at all of moral consequence. Pushing your kid out of the way isn't necessarily a "good thing" outside of my sphere (everyone else might hate my kid).


emphasis added

Is this what you're referring to? I didn't think this conflicted with what I've been saying. If I'm genuinely inconsistent, I'd like to fix it (for my own mental edification). But, be warned, I may just throw my hands up and say, "Dunno!".
