What would moral relavists think about moral relativism if we tortured them slowly to death and fed them their own children for their own sustenance, etc.? Most moral relativist have simply abstracted themselves from the real world and just need a good dose of it to wake up. Few of them make convincing arguments, because after they deconstructed morality, they proceeded to deconstruct reason. And we know what becomes of argument without reason.
And your blanket statement that it has eluded philosophers for millenia is simply ridicilous.
They would be pretty p!sssed off, just like anyone else. If you think that this "argument" is a refutation of moral relativism, you obviously do not understand it.

Blah, blah blah. I'm waiting for a refutation of moral relativism. So far, I haven't seen one, either in this forum or in any of the writings I read getting my bachelors and masters degrees in philosophy from well-regarded schools. If you have one, I'd be very interested to see it.
