I admit that I am confused about morality. I posit that others are also confused, and that claiming my statements are confused is in no way helpful or meaningful when the entire topic is left in such a sorry state. Specifically, I wanted to know if you were, like me, also confused, which you've said that you are, though by your reference to the fallacy of gray, you appear to be claiming you are less confused than me. I apologize for my original phrasing, and seek further clarification.

I'd very much like to find someone who isn't confused (or even less confused) and who would be willing to explain morality, since I very much want to understand the topic. If you are such a person, please do so.

Sorry, pointing out an error in your conduct was easy, "explaining morality" would probably be very hard, I'm not willing to make that commitment.
