I agree that he's impertinent and rude, but I wouldn't have banned him. The best way of dealing with certain people would be to patch bugzilla with the ability to block people for periods of time: a week, a couple of months, a year, forever.

Bugzilla has the ability to block a user from using his or her account. that's what "banning" is in this context. That block can be lifted at any time. I regularly disable accounts for abuse, have a long conversation with that person and end up re-instating their account because they've come to understand that what they were doing was counter-productive and agreed not to do it more.
