Folks who believe in the crap of the Torah definitely are not smart. Rather the opposite.

Flame: Expressing anger at someone in uncouth ways with OOC (out-of-character) comments (i.e. swearing, being obnoxious, threatening etc). It does to watch what you post IC (in-character) as well unless the other posters know you're not serious. You do not need to curse to be a flamer. Erudite slams while maintaining a veneer of politeness can also be considered flaming. Flaming in the forums should be reported in the Moderation forum, in the game itself, through Getting Help Page.
Flamebait: Posts that are made with the aim of angering someone indirectly. Not outright flame, but still liable to bring angry replies. Flame baiting is a far more subtle and covert action; it is an underhanded tactic that is designed to provoke a response from another player. It's in the same context of trolling but with flamebaiting it's just the one person.
Who is it aimed at?
This would fall under trolling if not for UB holding a consistent position on it.

And what do you call "I say this should be attributed to a combination of innate genetic tendency toward intelligence among Jews + environmental pressures toward high education in the Jewish community" ???
It's pure racism.
Can we use racism in such form?

Something all too common both on this board and in the world in general.

I'd attack the Torah less, the Talmud more.

Note that posts of opinions you disagree with does not automatically equate with trolling. Disagreements are expected, as long as they are done in a civil manner. Max Barry has made it clear that he welcomes all opinions in civil debate, even those that are highly unpopular or minority-held. Make your case without the invective, if you want to avoid banishment as a Troll.
Just sayin'

Yes, because it's a personal (political) opinion, just as "(I think) the US are bettererer than..." or "(I think) all homeless people should be shot".

Well, that's only acceptable to a certain extent. For example, if I were to say, "I think you should be shot," that's stepping over the line.

I wouldn't mind, I happen to agree :p, but indeed, that would make it a flame, but unless I'm a race of my own, it's no longer a racist remark. ;)
