92. You weren't being talked down to.
You asked a silly question so got a silly reply. You posted a comment that a television columnist is comparable to the President of the United States and all of his powers when it comes to doing good for the country. Really now.

As for your question, you need to be more specific. What people? Where does someone say that only negative stuff is true? Point me to the place where that is done. Surely you haven't made the logical flaw of thinking that just because someone says that a negative statement is true that they are also saying that no positive statements are true or that all negative statements are true. So you must have a post that says that only negative statements are true.
