I think this is a bad way of putting what is a sound idea in this instance. It is true that Jguk was changing date formats to something that offended SouthernComfort and others. It is also true, however, that SouthernComfort had been changing date formats to something that offended Jguk and others.
The issue here, though, is that deciding on these issues (as with whether to use American or English English) comes down to the editors of a particular article. There appears to be widespread agreement on the particular articles involved (of which SouthernComfort was one of the editors) that BCE-CE was preferable in this instance. Jguk then went around changing them to his preference anyway, regardless of the article consensus - and that's what isn't on.

SouthernComfort was NOT one of the editors involved until after he got into "change every article about Iran to BCE" mode. jguk was RIGHTLY changing SC's edits back to what the original authors had left them at.
