On an internet forum, a master baiter is someone who is an expert at starting ''bait threads'', meaning threads that aim to provoke quick responses and arouse emotions in people. Usually this means that the thread topic itself is part of the bait.
John Doe is a master baiter, because he likes to start bait threads that provoke shitloads of reactions from people. His most recent bait thread was called ''Monsanto is not all that bad''.

Expressing sadness or misfortune in a very vague way so as to bait other people in to asking "what's wrong?" so they can receive pity. Most commonly happens with Facebook status updates such as:
Why do they feel so lumpy?
I wish Oprah were here...she would understand...
I just don't see the point anymore...
It's ok, I'm fine being by myself.
Well, I did my best at least...
Annoyed listener: Oh shut the hell up already, you're such a pity baiter and I'm not biting.

Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks -- baited with vague tales of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention.
The Sympathy Baiter. "Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now."
