I should be ANYBODY's place to reopen the ticket and to bring in<br>

Closing the ticket is closing discussion and rejecting the author<br>
completely. And I find that unacceptable. If you're doing this kind of<br>
thing to me, then you're probably doing it to others too. And we need<br>
to talk about that so that you'll stop doing it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>No. Closing the ticket does not preclude comments on that ticket. The Theme developer can and should leave comments and questions regarding the Theme or its review. In fact, I state such at the end of every review I perform. </div>

Why did you not want to have a discussion with the theme author? Why<br>
did you reject the theme authors point of view, without consideration,<br>
without bringing it up to anybody else, without doing anything but<br>
saying "no go away" in essence?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Only you are claiming that the Theme reviewers don't want to have a discussion with the Theme author - due, presumably, to your incorrect association with a closed review ticket and absolute rejection of a Theme and its developer. Perhaps if you disabused yourself of this incorrect notion, you wouldn't be so up-in-arms? </div>

This is not what I think a "review" is supposed to be. And we need to<br>
talk about that.<br>
