This is getting a bit tiresome.

That I rejected the previously implied inference rule

R1: For any X where "I ought X" it also follows "I ought force others to X",

doesn't mean at all that I have to add a different inference rule

R2: For any X where "I ought X" it also follows "...but it's okay if you don't X."

To be perfectly clear to you: I'm rejecting both R1 and R2 as axioms. I've never stated them as axioms of moral realism, nor have I implied them to be such, nor do I believe that any theory of moral realism requires either of them.

I'm getting a bit tired of refuting implications you keep reading in my comments but which I never made. I suggest you stop reading more into my comment than what I actually write.
