Why why are so many programmers arrogantwhy are so many programmers arrogant was closed by accident:
People saw this as a fun question and didn't really like it, the large thread of comments to the question lead into confusion (I was between the people who voted) and were enough to hide the first serious answer, and it seems that after some initial down-votes people decide more quickly based on negative comments...
Yes, 5 people were wrong... But it is reasonable with the amount of people that can vote.
Seems it triggered some kind of near-the-edge case because of the "this is a fun question".

It's a single vote and nobody else has agreed with it, if a question is really related but not duplicate, such an accidental close vote can happen and you shouldn't worry about it... Just ignore it.
Our site is community driven, it is thus impossible for one to lock a question against downvotes.
What should be done?
Nothing, in most cases problems resolve itself... In this case it has.
Your question is back open again, the other question is open, the edit war has stopped.
If it wasn't the case, attention from a diamond user or valued associated might have been appropriate.
