In point of fact, just about everything concerning that
particular RfC is, if not "infantile", certainly dreadfully
silly.

1. It's silly to spend a bunch of time trying to distinguish
   yourself with an elaborate signature, when you could spend
   time distinguishing yourself by making high-quality edits.

2. Be that as it may, it's silly to get upset about someone's
   elaborate signature, let alone go to the extreme of editing it.

3. Be that as it may, it's silly to get too upset about someone's
   simplifying the elaborate signature that it was silly to have
   in the first place.

4. Be that as it may, it's silly to act all surprised (let alone
   defensive, let alone proud) when someone takes offense at the
   WP:POINT you made by simplifying their elaborate signature
   (particularly when you knew perfectly well they would).

As Berke Breathed once wrote, "Bailiff, kick these two nuts in
the butt."
