When people start reviving old threads it kicks the new, usually more relevent, threads down the page so they won't be seen as quickly. While that's not a problem if it's only a couple of people do it, if new posters constantly start reviving old threads it DOES become an issue. No one wants to wade through a bunch of old threads trying to find newer posts.

Also, getting an attitude with senior posters is NOT the way to make friends here. If you are new the board it is just polite to know the atmosphere of the board and become friendly with the older posters.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with reviving old threads, IF IT IS RELEVANT! This prevents new threads which will do exactly as you say. You can look at this from both sides. I and other users have done the same thing and I see nothing wrong with that.

So please leave moderating to the moderators, and we will all do the same!
