It actually depends on the thread. If it's a highly controversial topic, and most people decide to let it lie, then one person comes along and brings it up again, people will jump back in and duke it out again. Most people don't like this. There are other threads (mostly in Chit-Chat or Game Design, I think) where it's almost expected that the thread will die, then be revived later by someone with a new point of view. If it's a thread like this one, most people out there won't get mad.
