Well, taking your advice, I thought about it again.

I still think negative reinforcement for people trying to help you
is a bad thing.  I'd rather know about a bug, even if the person
telling me isn't volunteering to fix it; at least I'd be aware of
the bug, and might fix it myself.  Kicking people in the head for
telling me about bugs may reduce the number of bugs I get told
about, but it won't mean they aren't there, and I can't personally
fix a bug I don't know is there.

So I don't understand what you thought was wrong with my comment...
can you explain?
