If no logically consistent theory is offered, you don’t have to do any more.

I suppose you mean “if no theory of morality based on logical consistency is offered”.

Of course, one could make an attempt to research reason-based metaethics before discarding the whole idea.

  Agreed and edited.

  I observe that you didn’t offer a pointer to a theory of morality based on logical consistency.
  
  I agree with Eby: you are a troll. I’m done here.

    For one thing, I don’t think logical consistency is quite the right criterion for reason-based objective morality. Pointing out that certain ideas are old and well documented, is offering a pointer, and is not trolling.
