Tell them that you're pleased some Wikipedians actually managed to get
together and agree on something.

Tell them that you've thought again about what they're doing, and have
decided that since they're not agreeing to include original research,
nor are they agreeing that it's ok for their articles to be
unverifiable, nor are they agreeing that it's ok if they don't worry
about NPOV, that it's really no big deal that they are agreeing about
some absolutely trivial matter (even though it might be, in some
people's opinions, not within the strict letter of a mere naming
convention).
