Neo Art

A little backstory:
In this post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=557837) I reported a poster for inappropriately making reference to my private life. Mod ruling was that such conduct could be considered "borderline bating".
In this post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=559579) I reported the same poster for what I viewed as essentially bating, commenting "Sounds like Neo Art gets to be wrong." in the OP of a thread about the second amendment. To that thread it was ruled by Ardchoille that "Forum regulars get to know each other's stances on a variety of topics, including gun control." and that merely making reference to what you believe is a poster's position, in a relevant thread, was not baiting.
However it was also ruled that "If a poster developed a pattern of singling out another for abuse or baiting over several threads it would be actionable, but in this case I don't think such a pattern exists yet." which suggests that such conduct may rise to a violation if it was done across threads, and that while that reported thread may be in and of itself not a violation, could be considered as something in totality.
With that in mind I point to this post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13834989&postcount=224) and renew my same objection that it is, essentially, bating. And while I respect the earlier ruling, I point out that not only is this continued conduct which may, if taken in totality, give rise to an inference of bad conduct, but it was also done in a thread totally off the subject of his post. Coming in and saying "you were wrong about the second amendment" in a post having nothing at all to do with the second amendment does seem, to me, when taken in consideration of the history recounted above, as bating.
