A rhetorical question is when the answer is implied. Asking someone if they are a cracker whore is not rhetorical.

it very well could be. Judging by the tone of ones voice you could infer that the person is being sarcastic.
Unless you're a stiff in a cave, calling someone that is 99% rhetorical.
HOWEVER,
on a message board, the tone is usually not understood and I could very well see why it isn't rhetorical.
Aw, to hell with it. Who cares?
