That seems to be the case.
Several weeks ago I was called out for "crapping" on positive threads.
I admit I did that and apologized, as it really was not my intent. A lot of time you read these threads like (at least I do) like you are chatting to a bunch of friends/folks like you were chatting over your back fence, or around the office cooler. When you've been without your Spyder for a while (several months) it's difficult to not sound like a whiner because you are so frustrated that you aren't out ryding like it seems EVERYONE else is.
Anyway, after being straightened out by Lamonster and a few others on the site, I backed away about my griping. I started to count the "negative posts". On the busiest "negative" type days, only about 1/8 were negative. Many were positive and a lot were just informative with no negative connotation to them. I don't think there as many negative posts as it may seem. I just did a quick scan of "New Posts" and only found 2 that were imho, negative.
It's kind of like taking a sheet of notebook paper and putting a black circle the size of a pea in the middle of it. You hand that to someone and ask what they see, and they'll say a black dot. They don't say it's a small black dot surrounded by a sea of white.
I tend to think that's what happens when you read posts here and you notice the negative ones. You tend to forget about someone's great new wrap, or someone else's photos from a trip, or about another member ryding 2 hours to get parts for someone else so they can make thier summer vacation happen, or Evan's contests, or Irish's photo contest.
I believe there is a lot more positive here than negative any day of the week. but as Capt. John says- one "oh crap" wipes out 50 attaboys"
