You’d be mistaken. If anyone thinks I said anything unfair in the article, they’re welcome to point it out. I engage comprehensively, explicitly, and directly with Bentham’s arguments for moral realism, and I do the same for many others. I don’t think anyone would be able to build a compelling case that I an unfair to Bentham or to moral realists in general. Bentham, on the other hand, rarely engages comprehensively and tends to be dismissive of his better critics on this topic, ignoring them outright or only engaging in a superficial or perfunctory manner.
See, for instance, my discussion just a few hours ago with Alex Malpass on my channel. I don’t think you’d come away with the impression that I am unfair to moral realists. I do think, however, that if you looked over the kinds of remarks I routinely engage with from moral realists, you’ll find many instances of moral realists being unfair towards moral antirealists. In fact, one of the primary things I do is document and respond to the constant misrepresentations of antirealism and the bad arguments directed against it. We antirealists are on the receiving end of the bulk of the unfair treatment, not moral realists.
