The DM is targeting someone with a hostile action in order to force them to do what he wants. That's bullying. If the DM and players are at that point, they should just talk to the guy and ask him to leave, which is not bullying. If the AL rules prevent that, then the PCs should just roleplay kicking the PC out of the group for endangering the rest of them and being untrustworthy when it comes to combat. That's also not bullying, because it's the logical action of people (in this case PCs) whose lives are being repeatedly risked by someone else (in this case the cowardly PC).
As I've stated before, there are perfectly good in-game reasons why enemies may not always target the front lines and go for the ones running away. Also, saying that having a couple enemies go after the hiding player is not "targeting" any more than it's "targeting" the rest of the party. If they see him and associate him with the attacking group, he's fair game. Now, if ALL of them go after the hiding player every time, that would be a different story.
