In what way? Telling a user if you don't comply to _our_ rules in _our_ place you will be banned is rough?
Yes. It's understood, I think, so saying it outright is a bit of a slap in the face.
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.
I would suggest just letting things settle down.
Sure, he was out of line, but AJ had already explained things to him. You could have let the guy get the last word in.
Last time I've checked anyone can still post comments into closed bugs.
Indeed. There's nothing one can do technically to keep a determined poster out.
It's hard to quantify, but partly as a result of your comment, he seems to be actively telling folks that the Wine community is rude and unpleasant.
One can never stop other people from spreading FUD if they really want to do so.
Yes, but by being kind one can reduce the anger level and make it less likely the person will feel like venting.
we might be interested in his friends. The same idea might apply here.
You think a never ending close-reopen match would have been better? And wouldn't have resulted in him being banned for real?
You're assuming he would have continued mud-wrestling. That's not a given. - Dan
