aside from a lot of arguing about definitions over whether Eliezer counts as a relativist

I think the whole point was to taboo "realist" and "relativist." So if people come out of the sequence arguing about those definitions, they don't seem to have gotten anything out of the sequence. So, yes, aside from everything, there's no other problem. But that doesn't help you narrow down the problem. I suspect this is either strong agreement or strong disagreement with gjm, but I don't know which.
