That really doesn't look like flame baiting to me. But that's my opinion, besides we have people saying America and Israel should be wiped out etc etc all the time on the forums. But again it's just my opinion.
“One of the serious problems of planning against Aggie doctrine is that the Aggies do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.”
“The reason that the Aggies does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the Aggies practices chaos on a daily basis.”

The definition of flamebaiting:
Flamebaiting: 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.

I've looked at several postings after said post and it doesn't look like much of a fuss was given for the purpose of flame baiting.

Thanks for your contribution, but I don't agree. (:
Now it's up to the mods.

EDIT: Yes it did trigger an extremely angry reaction.

Addressed. In this particular case, I'm inclined to rule that it is inflammatory.

Good for you. But hey, guess what? You're not a mod. You have no business stating whether something is a violation. Enjoy your *** 6-hour time out. ***

Is this really worth the Fuss? Honestly, we're banning people for 7 days because they tried to cause a Flamewar? Why not just forum ban the guy? And, I mean, is this how Butthurt people can get?


Sorry, I thought who started the post was getting a time-out.
