I don't care about speculation but calling it attention seeking behavior is a silly logical leap.

I don't see how calling it attention seeking behavior isn't just another form of speculation.

But my main point is that there are different ways you could word something like this that would get different types of results. Whether it's intentional or not, the way he worded it seemed engineered to provoke precisely this kind of speculation and attention. Someone who wanted to keep things low key and didn't want the attention likely wouldn't word it like that imo.

Yup.
If/when he shows up again I plan on getting in his face for making that post.
Not ****ing cool at all to do among friends - even if it's just casual forum buds.
