With the exception of Mario (only to a degree) .. None!! Most of them have 'not behaved well' at some point or another, some have bitched, some have lied etc... however what makes Dave unique is that he does these things MOST of the time.
He seems to need a 'target' on whom to vent his bile (today, its Sam again) .. he won't leave it alone .. when he's not making snide (untrue) remarks directly to Sam (or whoever, on other days), he trots around to each and every other HM to spread the venom, either in a 'jokey way' or a more serious attack, depending on the HM (tailor makes his abuse according to the HM known feelings about the 'target)
No, Dave hasn't got seperate rules to live by ... none of us do. If we choose to behave in a vile, duplicitous manner, we will be judged accordingly. I think the problem is that Dave thinks he should be judged seperatly because he wears the mantle of 'Goodness' and 'Joviality'.
