I had an OTB game once which finished as a draw instead of a win because my pawn got in the way. We each had two pawns and I won a pawn race with check but my king and other pawn were in just the wrong places that I couldn't check again and stop my opponent promoting.
Negative Pawn Value?

Yes, even at a 1200 level I've experienced a position where a pawn had negative value.
Edit: Were you talking to CensoredReality?

I think he's trying to say that the 2000 player should know that even better than you, not that you're wrong.

If you look at CensoredReality's post, you can see that the remark was not directed at the OP.
White just played 19 Kb1, the white king shelters in front of enemy pawn, leaving Black no defence to g5 and Nf6+
The b2-pawn is betraying the black queen from giving check.
