Sorry but I didn't understand your answerFirst question is -- "can the + input go below the - input". If not you'll get nothing. Even if it can, I'm not sure you'll get what you expect
Can you (or anybody else) circuit for me the new diagram after the changes ?He means to say that the output depends on the nature of your input.

For the wave above you will get always zero voltage as output as the diode always remains off.

But in this case you will get what you want that is reversed output.
