I find the response of the LW community schizophrenic. If someone writes a post advocating moral realism, they get jumped on for being religious. Yet when I wrote this post asking whether there is some evolution-free moral code that should influence the choices of organism-designers, I got jumped on for even presenting as one possibility that moral realism might be false.
Claiming that the "naturalistic fallacy" is a fallacy is, I think, identical to defending moral realism. You can't even define the naturalistic fallacy without presuming moral realism.
I agree with jimrandomh. One should expect different people to have different opinions. Furthermore, we're most likely to respond to things that we find obviously wrong - thus, where the community is not in consensus, expect to be 'jumped on' no matter which position you advocate.
