Could this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13811544&postcount=2) be considered flame-baiting?

Well Canuck, it seems like this particular user is waiting for the person to respond with something like an insult.
I would say that it is.

It could be considered flamebait.

However, regular posters do form an impression of each other's views on regular topics. In context, I'd see this more as an attempt at humour rather than malicious misrepresentation.

Cookiton, mods appreciate players' assistance, but it should usually be something that could affect a ruling, such as links to precedents or further examples.

Ah, I'm sorry. I know you consider this backseat moderating, I'm sorry. You won't see it again.
