If there's a large difference difference between "an arguable interpretation" and "what you actually meant" (which is different from "what [you] actually post"...there's that subjectivity thing again) then you probably need to express yourself more precicely. It
is called debate, after all.
But I don't see any point with "discussing the idea" of moderation being subjective if there's no alternative; one might as well "discuss the idea" of the water being wet. What possible conclusion could be reached about such a thing?
But when I suggested what I saw as the possible venue for an alternative (or even a
reductio ad absurdam type of couterexample), you got all upset about my craftily and viciously accusing you of a desire to do such a henious thing. What a bizarre twist indeed.
