"We agree on the obvious: that people have subjective moral principles. We disagree on the proposition that moral opinions are not invented by humans but were pre-existing in some unknown fashion."

No we agree on both of these. The later statement includes the word "opinion." Any opinion is just that and not absolute.

The rest of that post seems to be some back peddling on your earlier statements about "moral truisms." That's ok with me. I didn't think the way you originally used the term was in line with your general view point on the subject anyway, so you are welcome to restate your position. Even Kholt and Neo have cautioned my about being overly optimistic.
