Consider dealings with agents that have morals that conflict with your own. Obviously, major value conflicts preclude co-existence. Let's assume it is a minor conflict - Bob believes eating cow milk and beef at the same meal is immoral.
It is possible to develop instrumental or terminal values to resolve how much you tolerate Bob's different value - without reference to any meta-ethical theory. But I think that meta-ethical considerations play a large role in how tolerance of value conflict is resolved - for some people, at least.
