Several of Kontor's posts flamebait, while others flame players directly.

Could you link to specific posts? I've been browsing the thread, but haven't seen anything actionable.

I'd say the first is closest to flaming, but still a little... mild. The second is the usual banter one can expect in General. His third post looks a little trolly or flamebaity to me, though, as if he's trying to rub the pro-gay populace of General the wrong way.

Too weak to qualify as a flame. Massively ignorable.

Oh, what? That's mildly peevish, not flaming!

That's a weak attempt at a joke.
IM, I think you're going to have trouble proving your case with examples like that. Kontor seems to have effectively needled you, without stepping outside the rules.
Reading the OP, you should have been prepared for that.
