If a negative thread is created, it usually turns into the positive crowd disagreeing with some negative backup for the OP.

Most people tend to post on a message board when they see something they want to disagree with more so than to run in and say "Yep! Me too!". Therefore, unless it's a neutral thread, you can generally predict the outcome of the first couple of pages by looking at the topic of the thread alone.
Derailment (like our posts) aside, positive threads tend to get negative response and negative threads tend to get positive response. There are exceptions, but I believe that's generally the rule. In my opinion, it's not really "astounding" as it is expected.
