The problem is, the user felt he was treated rudely:
"I will report a new bug, but don't treat me like i'm an
idiot or someone who deliberatly is spamming in closed bug reports."
and I tend to agree.  In this case, the user didn't need
education, he just needed to be gently told that
a new bug needs to be filed.
