I guess I must be in a good mood this evening. I even put in the two missing apostrophes.

As much as I think the team_negative_one/-1 posting style is absurd, I have to ask: Which forum rule does it violate?

As others have said, primarily it's the "one account per user" rule. When Team first joined, I thought it was a different person, but Neg1's idiosyncratic posting (and that some of the IP addresses match) make it clear that he is now using Team's account.

There is also forum etiquette, that dictates that users should consider how their typing may affect the forum experience for other users. Random hard returns are just as annoying, at least to me, as all caps or a total absence of punctuation.

And of course there's the unwritten rule that you should not piss me off.
