Relativist fallacy
From Wiki @ Karl Jones dot com
The relativist fallacy, also known as the subjectivist fallacy, is claiming that something is true for one person but not true for someone else.
Description
The fallacy is supposed to rest on the law of non-contradiction.
The fallacy applies only to objective facts, or what are alleged to be objective facts, rather than to facts about personal tastes or subjective experiences, and only to facts regarded in the same sense and at the same time.
On this formulation, the very name "relativist fallacy" begs the question against anyone who earnestly (however mistakenly or not) holds that there are no "objective facts."
So some more work has to be done, in a non-question-begging way, to make it clear wherein, exactly, the fallacy lies.
