I think "moral anti-realist" is better, but not by much.

Specifically, they seem to be talking about something similar to Error Theory.

Well, I just looked it up, and I'd agree with it, though I do use it more as an intermediate conclusion than an actual end point.

I don't know what you mean by that, but I resolved my weird ethical quasi-nihilism through a combination of studying Metaethics and reading Luke's metaethical sequence, so you might want to do that as well, if only for the terminology.

Sorry, what I meant was that while I am using something similar to Error Theory, I was also going beyond that and using it as a premise in other arguments. All I meant was that it wasn't the entirety of my argument.

I certainly plan on reading those, but thanks for the advice. Hopefully I'll be up to date with terminology by the end of the summer.
