...implying that the "basic stuff" isn't relative...

This isn't true.

I showed your Facebook picture of little man clawing out your eyeball the day before yesterday. She thought it was hilarious.

This isn't true.

It implies that, regardless of whether or not morality is relative, there are rules still worth following, which is actually a much more important point to use against Renton's post than any argument against moral relativism itself.

Being worth legislating does not imply being worth following.

This both is true and does change my point on a practical level.

Anyway, the important thing is that by Renton's own admission, proving moral relativism isn't essential to proving that moral legislation should not happen. We could even (hypothetically) agree that a line in the sand should exist somewhere, but as I outlined in my other post, there's no reason to assume that this line precludes discussion on human-rights-based labor issues beyond slavery. All he established is that there's a line somewhere, and he personally believes that equity in the workplace among the sexes is beyond that line.
