I believe this is what we call flamebaiting.

flamebaiting is against the rules.
So is murder, theft, drunk driving, etc. but people do it anyways.

And they get punished for it to when caught.
New Stalinberg, just because people break rules doesn't make it right. If I got arrested for drunk driving, license taken away, pay fine of whatever hundred dollars it is in the state, then I deserve it. If I flamebait, then I deserve action.
If someone catches you stealing and they detain you until the cops arrive, you think they're gunna let you go and get away with it? No. Guess what? Corneliu caught you stealing (IE: flamebaiting) from him. He's detaining you until the cops (mods) get to this.

New Stalinberg, this is the moderation forum, not the spam forum and not your private fiefdom from which you can spout the rules as you see them. Since you have no business in this thread, cut it out.
Moderation is for moderation business, not for griefing Corneliu for using it for its proper use.
Warned for spamming.

seriously though, if those two posts corny referenced constitute flamebaits the internet is shedding skin like nobody's business. it'd be a poor precedent to set if they were acted on.

There is also the matter of past history, dontchaknow. If this were an isolated case, yeah, I'd ignore it.
That said: there are a number of posters who spam in here whenever ANYTHING is reported, whining that whatever the matter is should not be reported. This ain't the place. (and no, Infinite, this is not directed at you.)
