Actually, my remark related to use of "cis-lord."
I personally don't care about the historical use of "Before Christ" versus "Before Common Era." I recognize that religion is one of those universal components of history and the period around the birth of Christ is a pretty good demarcation point --as good as any other, I reckon, bearing in mind this is the year 5779 in another religion's reckoning --and I'm sure there are others.
Today is Julian calendar 2458630.500000, and I guess it's negative in Star Trek's "Star Date"
The only thing that bothers me is that I get the sub-feeling that "CE" and "BCE" are sometimes used as a kind of in-your-face rebellion against the religious basis of our common dating scheme, which is... I don't know... kind of petty, I guess.
