baitlighting

When you tell someone you think they are baiting to make them wonder if the belief/argument they stated was that ridiculous.
Joe: I was losing an argument so I just told the guy he was baiting.

John: Haha this is a classic example of the phenomenon known as baitlighting, it's as if you gaslit him that he was baiting!
