Yeah. My personal mental model of the rules was always along the lines of: 1) Don't be an ass. 2) If you find yourself trying to explain why your behaviour doesn't violate rule 1, it does, and you're doing it again. But I like the positive formulation better. The trick with positive forms is they need to be lead by example, and culturally speaking very few communities have people who go out of their way to be positive all the time every time. I don't know how we cultivate that, but we ought to. - ajax
