So you've changed your line from having a dig at someone to increase profits to making passing comments to possibly wind up your opponent. As far as I'm aware, having a dig at someone is very similar to at least two of those three things you mentioned (namely making people feel unwelcome and abuse) but of course the word "dig" can be interpreted in many different ways, so it's fairly trivial.
I was playing live at a major casino when a player well known as a losing player joined the table in Seat 8. The player in Seat 2 immediately moved to Seat 9, saying it was his lucky seat.
20 minutes later, the new player lost his stack, reloaded but moved to Seat 2, saying he hoped it would bring him better luck. As it happened, the player in Seat 3 left a few minutes later so the player that moved to Seat 9, moved there. When another player asked him why he had moved, he said that the light was shing in his eyes.
The player stacked again & when he reloaded, he had to sit in Seat 9 as it was the only seat available. It took the other player a bit of time to get to his left and took him two moves but eventually he got to Seat 1.
On another occasion, the casino was trying to get a cash game going while players were waiting for a tournament to begin. Everyone said maybe but as soon as the weak player said, "Yes" then the whole table filled with nine players. When he bust ten minutes later and left, all the other players left as well.
I think that picking your seat when you first sit down is fine but after that, I find it a bit embarrassing when one player targets another player.
