I don't think anyone called them "negative resistors" except for the O.P.
Digikey was fresh out of negative resistors and are backordered. That is a negative quantity of negative resistors.
What is the color code for a -10 ohm resistor

Geesh. I think that you and Phil must be related or something
The only thing that you've proved is that I no longer have an ability to sufferer fools of any kind, in yet another newsgroup.
I think he means that he can't be bothered being polite to people he disagrees with. Mike Terrell's grasp of who is a fool and who isn't is not all that impressive.

That's unfair to Phil. He and krw can be pretty irrascible, but Phil is a whole lot more willing to imagine that he might be wrong, and - unsurprisingly - he's wrong a whole lot less often than krw is.

Must be rough looking in the mirror... I'm just sayin'

No one cares about your ignorant blather, as well.
Obviously you do or you wouldn't have replied... I'm just sayin'

No, they're 'negative resistances', as I said

And as I said imho it's a somewhat misleading moniker.

Mike Terrell is ignorant enough to make claims about what other people might think.

No, while a "negative resistor", as a passive device, doesn't (can't) exist, it is a useful concept. He didn't say "tunnel diode".
No one said they existed as a passive device.
The OP said "negative resistor". A device with a negative incremental resistance isn't a "negative resistor". "Negative resistance" has another (overloaded) meaning and as you note it is confusing some dopes here.
Learn something, if you can.
Phil's human and krw is a troll robot?

is there a point?
Yes! The point is there can be 50+ posts about the color code of a resistor. (And only about 2 of them actually address the question!) :)
Excluding this one, of course.
Now THAT's a good point !
correction: a non-existent resistor, and that makes it 51.

Certainly but you're obviously too dim to get it.
I'm not dim or childish enough to waste further time on this.
