In what way? Telling a user if you don't comply to _our_ rules in _our_ 
place you will be banned is rough? You have other ideas how to stop anyone 
from reopening a bug that everyone one from Wine said "please do not 
reopen"? Of course just ignoring this bug won't work, as everyone who active 
on bugzilla will be attempting to close it again.

Last time I've checked anyone can still post comments into closed bugs.

One can never stop other people from spreading FUD if they really want to do so.

You think a never ending close-reopen match would have been better? And 
wouldn't have resulted in him being banned for real?
