That is the problem in a nutshell. Their signatures on a discussion page are more important than the aims of improving the readability and ease of editing on the discussion page. Their lack of perspective is thus a problem for Wikipedia.
Your solution is to simply piss them off, which eventually gets you RfC'ed and/or drives them away.
Other editors approach porblems of this ilk with discussions, friendly requests on talk pages, new policy proposals. And only resort to nuclear efforts for serious and sustained crisis situations.
It doesn't matter if the problem is their signatures. You need to treat them better. And that's your problem, not theirs.
