Keiva has been accused of "flaming". I am not acquainted with a lot of internet lingo, including this one, so I looked the word up today and this is the definition I got from I believe the Utah State Office of Education
Avoid harsh criticism. Harsh criticism is sometimes called flaming. It should be avoided, unless you know that it is acceptable in a particular site. In some sites, however, creative and witty flaming is considered part of the fun.

By this definition, many other people on this board are also flaming, am I right?
The harsh criticisms I have seen on this board lately are not creative and cannot be considered fun.

Keiva was banned from this board. He threated Anu Garg, the founder, and Jackie, the administrator with legal action if he was not to return. He has lied and encouraged other to lie on his behalf.
It not flaming to tell the truth, even if the truth is harsh. It is not spam to tell the truth.
the truth is, Keiva was banned for rude, nasty behavior. it is not flaming to let new user know this.

For my enlightenment, I will really appreciate it if someone can tell me if there is an internet term for what wwh and others are doing---repeatedly posting a phrase or a url ad nauseum. I am not criticizing, just curious if a term has been coined for that.

in psychology, it called "broken record" you just keep repeating what you want, no argueing, no sidebars, no discussion. eventually, the other party realizes, that no matter what they say, the answer is always the same ... in this case, "Go Away Keiva, you are not wanted here"
so called it a broken record or a recurring theme. eventually, even he will get the message.

in psychology, it called "broken record" you just keep repeating what you want ... eventually, the other party realizesI believe the psychology terms for such incessant repetition are echolalia, echopraxia and palilalia or paliphrasia -- with slight distinctions among the these terms. They are generally not considered by the psychologists to be means of argumentation. Rather, they are (except in cases of infantilism) markers of psychological disturbance, particularly of autism or schizophrenia. Thus, per bartleby: echolalia:
1. Psychiatry The immediate and involuntary repetition of words or phrases just spoken by others, often a symptom of autism or some types of schizophrenia.
2. An infant's repetition of the sounds made by others, a normal occurrence in childhood development.http://www.bartleby.com/61/83/E0028300.html

Keiva: You have broken the record for infamy in extorting concessions from Wordsmith.
You are as welcome as a skunk at a lawn party.

Dear vika
All the "titles" are simply an indication of how much a person has posted.
A Carpal Tunnel is usually but not always someone who has been here awhile. Or it can be just that someone has posted a lot in order to get the title.
Most of us wish we could get rid of titles as they seem to many to be rather silly and childish ... but they are apparently built into the board software.
I pay no attention to titles but rather concentrate on what is written. Content is what is interesting to me.
Hope that clears it up for you.
If I can be of further help please send me a Private Message (PM) by clicking on bar at top of the page.

Perhaps Vika is not familiar with what Carpal Tunnel is and why it would be the name given to one with many, many posts.
DOCTOR Bill? Care to explain?
(if this is true, it's obvious that dear vika does not have much contact with the lawsuit-happy workers of the US that are all too familiar with CT)

"Carpal tunnel" is a slightly outmoded term for repetetive motion injury, implying
that one has perpetrated so many gratuitous posts he has pain in both wrists.
It means a large number of posts of however dubious quality.
