Negative as in negative attitude, and negative as related to the companion word, disparaging. I see no evidence the "negative" topics, such as in the category of "doom and gloom" are a problem.
Also negative as outlined by Carol throughout the first post to this topic.
"trash THE FORUM OWNERS, THE MODS, THE FORUM OR ANY MEMBER OF THE FORUM. " Treating others with disrespect or breaking any of the other rules. I suggest reading through the post again.
Just as an example, please do not take this out of context. Here would be a "negative" reply to your question and all the other's that piped in also ... "Duh morons, by kindergarden most have figured out what is negative treatment of others." The first part of my reply is simply factual and attempts to be kind, or at least neutral no personal attacks, no name calling, no sarcasm.
I hope this helps. I can clarify more if need be. To me it's very obvious - it is disrespectful, it trashes something other than yourself. It hurts.
