One difference is that "Perplexed" is talking about anger as an individual emotional response ...

Uh, no I'm not. I haven't even mentioned anger. I'm talking about punishment.

Yes, you're right (in the sense that you're making a true statement about what you said before), and I'm wrong. I misunderstood your position.

After acknowledging that I misunderstood you, I'd like to make use of my now probably-correct understanding of what you meant, but unfortunately I have nothing useful to say. I'd need a definition of "moral reality" to start with, assuming that's what you think you are perceiving as a moral realist.
