Are you saying you still don't see the difference between saying that someone doesn't respect (or has a distaste for) "moral absolutists" and saying that someone has said they have a distaste for human values, truth, justice, principle? Really? It is incredible, if true. There is quite a difference between those two situations. In the first case, the person is not a demonized. In the second, the person is. X doesn't respect, intellectually, those who hold the moral absolutist position. X does not feel distaste for morals, truth, justice, human values themselves. A moral relativist or Benthamite utilitarian is not the same as a vicious murderous psychopathic killer. This is just so rudimentary. How can it be necessary to explain it?
