Although I never made that argument in my above post, I will give my thoughts. Perhaps if a claim is made *about* morality then it is a moral claim. If this is the case, and the claim that "there are no moral absolutes" is surely a claim about morality, then such a claim is a moral claim. If that is the case then it is self-refuting, for it makes an objective moral claim (as opposed to subjective).
