The cartoon can be taken as offensive anyways. Its called "Bob's quick guideto the apostrophe, you IDIOTS". So that can be taken as a flame, IMO.

Image Spam: Posting of repeated or multiple images that do not serve to help the flow of the thread. This can be the use of images to RP, the use of repeated pictures to declare a point, or the use of semi-flame images from somethingawful or ebaumsworld to mock others.

Of course posting a large image using the img tag instead of just linking it is a bit rude anyway.

No.

Image spam.

Technically, yes. It's as much spam as if Fassitude had instead posted, "Apostrophe Man, where are you now that we need you?". But such harmless one-line off-topic interjections are usually taken as just part of the atmosphere of General.

<snip>One image. In one thread. From a poster who doesn't make a habit of posting such images.<snip>

Usually, yes, that's a consideration. Even so, it would be possible for a single image to be image-spam. A screen-breaker, for example.

edited. Bickering.

No. Unnecessary. There are situations in which a player's interactions with another player would be relevant to a post in Moderation, but this isn't one of them.

My reply was posted before I saw these responses. Any further bickering will be taken as flaming in Moderation.
