“No, it means it’s your turn to try to hijack a science thread.”

No it means by using CE the writer is signaling he is a leftist tool. By using what is at the very least a provocative date designator he causes unnecessary controversy which takes away from the content of his article. To prove my point, notice how may replies are in reference to the use of the idiotic CE designation rather then the content of the article. I didn’t have to hijack anything.
