No one. This is thread of opinion (having one, defending one, disagreeing with others)...sorry if you didn't get that.

"Your understanding of morality is just that. Your understanding. It is not for you to measure how correct the rest of us are."
Yes, exactly...as I say up-thread, 'I have a 'morality' that is idiosyncratic to me, based on my valuing of this or that, but that's just 'me'. I’m not arrogant enough to assume my way is the right way for any one else, or that my way has a root any place other than in 'me'.'
This can be said for my opinion as to the 'source' of morality as well...sorry if you didn't get that.

Then referring to some posters as being 'on the money' or 'on target' is perhaps just some unfortunate phrasing. It certainly gives the impression that you are sitting in judgement as to which of the opinions expressed in this thread are the 'correct' ones.
