From your examples that still seems rather unnecessary.

I don’t really think that replying without bumping the topic will have any real benefit for anyone.  
If a reply to a topic bothers of annoys other members, the problem is probably the content posted, not the bump itself… 😄

Anyway, there’s no way to do this and it probably won’t change if no one else is interested in the feature.
