i.e. there are facts about what is right and wrong (or good and bad) that are not agent-relative.

Is that right? I've understood that you can be a realist about subject-sensitive objective moral facts. Is that different from saying that the facts are "agent-relative"?

You're right, my potted descriptions here are misleading. Certain forms of relativism are appropriately classified as realist. I'll edit my descriptions.

Thanks! I was concerned I had it wrong.
