You don't need to know who the person is, nor do the keys matter
except as generalities. If I identify the keys, then I identify the
person, and there is no need to identify the person. This is not about
personalities, but is instead about behavior. The information that
I've given should be sufficient to answer this question:

Is it acceptable to change a widely used key into a key invented by
the editor?

I say that it is not, and that any editor doing so should be censured,
and their edits turned into acceptable edits (creating a new tag with
the editor's key). I think it is reasonable for the community (in this
case talk-us) to come to a conclusion. If the editor chooses to
separate themself from the community through continued misbehavior,
that is their choice, and the community will help them abide by that
separation.
