You did exactly that by closing the bug as "won't fix". What harm does an open   
bug report do ?

It may be less important to you but there are others who feel its important   
enough to deserve a report. Closing a report because you think its unimportant   
is not very helpful.

Nobody demanded that _you_ fix this within 24 hours so why this display of "I   
have far more important stuff to do" ? If you do not want to fix it, please   
leave it for others to look at. The purpose of the bug report is to make users  
aware of the problem.  
 
Perhaps next time, you can mark such bugs as "resolved unimportant" (assuming   
bugzilla gives such an option).
