"The question I've quoted above implies that if you will force others to conform to your values, they must be objective. I think this is an invalid argument."

To clarify, I think trying to convince a person that your morals are correct implies objective morality. To impose them outright does not imply this.

Surely not. If I consider morality to be subjective and purely a matter of opinion then I may try and persuade you to adopt mine - not because it is fundamentally better but because I prefer it and want (for whatever reason, perhaps not even related to morality) to persuade you to feel the same.

I think many with a subjective view of morality would argue passionately about it and seek to persuade others to accept whichever view they held, even if ultimately their position would be it's as objective as which brand of ice cream "should" one prefer. The difference in behaviour stems from how much they care about morality vs ice cream flavor.

I have had many arguments (quite long and passionate) trying to persuade a friend of mine that bridge >>>> poker. I'm seeking to persuade him to concede the point, yet I make no claim that there is a way to objectively determine which game is better.

EDIT: I think one with a subjective view of morality would just reject the concept of "correct". To them it is a question of opinion from the start. I dont see that this implies they have ceded the right to tell others how to live.
