Welcome to metaethics!
I seem to recall Eliezer saying that he was a cognitivist, but not a realist.
Oh, well, that makes some sense, actually. Since everybody knows that "cognitivism" means that moral statements have truth-values, whereas "realism" seems to be a confused notion - I actually interpreted it to mean the same thing as cognitivism because otherwise I don't know what on earth realism should even be.
