"I see no way that "moral absolutes" can be anything but the assertion of some particular person's opinion, though." An opinion has to be about something. It is dependant and not an absolute since it must be held in juxtaposition with varying opinions....A moral absolute is an idea. You can have opinions about how attitudes, actions, circumstances, outcomes etc are associated with an idea but it is silly to have an opinion as to whether or not ideas exist. You may have an opinion about whether or not some statement qualifies as an absolute idea (moral absolute).
