Would this be considered colluding?

I have been thinking about a funny scenario that happened to me in a satellite tournament on Bogdog to the 100k guaranteed:

8 players remaining, only 7 get tickets to the 100k. Blinds are 1000/2000 with a 200 (I think) ante. I am super-chip leader with 45k. There is one super-short stack with about 5k, rest of the field has between 9k and 15k.

The super shorty is 2 seats to my right, so I routinely get to see him fold before action gets to me. I start pushing every hand he folds, forcing everyone to fold no matter what their cards. Kinda mean and pointless of me, but hey...

OK, so my question is this. What if I really want to be a bastard by min raising the short stack's big blind, then folding to his all-in. There is no point in this than to piss off the other players and putting them in jeopardy. But I do not know the short stack, and have no genuine interest to see him make the 100k so I am not colluding per se. I just want to be an a-hole to the other players... let's say I just don't like them. Is this colluding? The other players would certainly think so from what they see.

If you would consider it colluding, what if I argue that my reason for doing this is to guarantee the short stack makes the 100k because I think he is a fish and can possibly double me up in that tournament. Thus I would rather eliminate one of the other stronger players in hopes they don't enter the 100k tournament. Still colluding?
