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.
