It doesn't follow from that that you have no interest in praise and blame.

Yes, and it doesn't follow that because I am interested in praise and blame, I must hold other people to the same standard I hold myself. I said right there in the passage you quoted that I do in fact hold other people to some standard, it's just not the same as I use for myself.

Yes as a matter of epistemology and normative ethics, but not as a matter of metaethics.

Yes as a matter of epistemology and normative ethics, but not as a matter of metaethics.
