I mean if morality is just personal preference why do we even allude to it at all?

Is that what I said in your mind? I honestly had to chuckle at the extreme hyperboles you decided to use. Surely having a less favorable view of hyper capitalist economics is on the same level as torture and genocide. Yup, that is a totally reasonable and measured response that just exemplifies acting in good faith.

Anyway, thanks for genuine chuckle your response got out of me.

You don't even say it is a good thing. The closest to morality come is alluding to the fact that someone holds the opinion that it's good. Even though you also likely hold this opinion, you don't even want to go as far as saying that you think it's a good thing.

This is entirely absurd.

You reply is what we in the game call "moving the goal post".
Some people consider it a good thing that goal posts are moved.
If you are not even here in good faith I can imagine some people do consider that a good thing yeah. No argument from me there.
