Do you really have no understanding of the concept of assuming good
faith? You have provided a good example of an argumentum ad hominem,
attacking the argument by attacking the man.
Whether or not he was intending to bring the whole BCE mess into this
or not, he had a valid point.
Is it really necessary to be quite so incivil?

It would be useful (if we don't already have it somewhere that I've missed)
to have a firm
statement that says articles should be written to be as intelligible to as
many of our readers as
possible, with our readers being anyone potentially searching for
English-language information on
the internet.
If you imagine that your attempt to further your campaign against the use of
BCE/CE using this backdoor method went unnoticed, rest assured that it did
not.
