There's an idiot mass-closing old unfixed bugs

Hi,

I'd like to bring your attention to the harmful conduct of a user
handling bugs in Launchpad.

There's this "dino99", who is closing several bug reports just
"because they are old", regardless of whether they are fixed or not. I
think he should be stopped before he keeps doing damage.

I have seen half a dozen bugs which I had reported myself ages ago,
closed in the last few days by this guy. So I have re-checked some of
those issues, and every single one of them still exists unfixed.

I believe closing bugs without verifying them, just because they are
old and haven't been acted upon, is a demential and harmful conduct.
Bugs shouldn't be closed unless it is verified that they are fixed or
invalid.

Even worse, after I have wasted my time re-checking the issues
(something he should have done before closing them in the first place)
and verifying that they still exist in the current version of Ubuntu,
and hence have re-opened the issues, he insists in closing them.
Apparently he thinks I (or whoever reported the issue originally)
should file a new identical bug report, which seems to me a ridiculous
waste of time.

Have a look at this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/747197
and other issues recently closed by dino99 and/or commented by teo1978
(whcih is me).

In the case of the abovementioned issue, dino99 in his last comment
includes a link to some unrelated stuff which I don't know if he
thinks has some relation with the issue itself (which he must not have
read, because it doesn't) or with his threat to "act". It looks like
he's mentally ill or something.

P.S.: I suggest that you don't waste your time replying to this
message because I am not going to look at the messages in this mailing
list and hence am very unlikely to read any reply.
