does baiting count if it is not targeted to rules, but to intrests?

For example,

Mister Moderator Hates mario sunshine

forum user posts a mario sunshine appreciation / discussion thread

Is this baiting since it breaks no rules?

If it would be (which it's not), it would probably borderline favoritism and/or misuse of power.

However, my question about warez still stands. Does warez only include the distribution and acquisition of said illegal content, or is all general discussion (ie. Technical help) about the illegal content covered under warez as well?
