I agree. It can depend on how one defines being negative as well.
I'm often the guy that's tagged as the negative one in meetings because I point out the potential problems we'll have to address in the positive person's great idea.
I was once told by a manager to stop being so negative in a meeting that one of the owner's of the company was attending. The owner told him to shut up because I was only the person in the room not kissing his ass over his great ideas.
I'm paraphrasing there, he didn't actually say it like that.
