Griefing is in the intention, not in the action
The specific action is irrelevant, and trying to determine whether a given action is griefing is just wrong, because it is the intention which defines it.
If you have to ask it's either
a) They were not griefing or
b) They failed
You can't logically come to the forum and ask this question. If someone is making your gametime miserable for no other reason than to make you miserable, that is griefing. It doesn't matter what the mechanic is, if you are in a war and they repeatedly blow up your ship it's a perfectly legitimate action, but if they go out of their way to make you miserable over it, that's griefing.
If they are failing to make you miserable, even if they are trying, they are not really griefing, as there is no harm done, and since you can't truly judge their intentions, just leave it alone.
It has also been correctly pointed out above that griefing is very difficult in Eve, because Eve is such a harsh game anyway that you really have to go above and beyond the call of asshattery to make it any harsher for someone.

Is baiting miners griefplay?
No.
But blowing up a miner's ship isn't baiting, is it?
It is nothing more than a way to "hurt" the miner for not falling for your trap. It gains no reward. It is an act only indulged in to annoy the other player, with no other reward.
The difference is subtle, but it is important.
I changed one word in this post.
Spot the difference.

How ridiculous. Yes, it works like that within the game mechanics, but what a pathetic way of looking at it.
I must assume that the Eve bullies are making up for real world inadequacies and find the only way they can be the "big man" is to kick virtual sand in people's faces in a computer game.
Yes that must be it 
Jesus, this is poor even for the Eve-O Fora.

I had a moment of clarity when I saw Make Love, Not Warcraft the other day.
See that guy in that. That's you lot, that is.
You mean we're all really high level in WoW?

This is not the game you are looking for.
I know. It's too tough for me. I prefer Hello Kitty, Island Adventure.
