I'm not sure you guys can keep this up.
Come on RL, after debating with you for numerous pages, I know you are not this dense. The absolutism and relativism of MR and MA apply to moral and ethical questions only. They have no bearing on issues not pertaining to morality and ethics, to wit, just because someone is a moral relativist, that does not mean they believe there are no absolute truths in the world, just that there are no absolute moral truths in the world. This continued claim that any MR argument collapses upon itself because it actually asserts an absolute truth is illogical.
