Please do not quote "Webster", I want your personal opinions. I love that question. I actually gave it some thought, (shut up Paul). It is easy to know what a complaint it. That is when someone doesn't like something and says so. Now, a negative opinion is subjective. If someone does not agree with you, then to you, that is a negative opinion, and your opinion to them, is a negative opinion. A negative opinion is how we know what the other side thinks, and how we learn that our world is not the center of all that exists. If every opinion we heard was a positive opinion, not only would it be boring, but there never would be any change. A negative opinion is to me the best thing I can hear, for it allows me to consider someone else's position, and consider if I might be wrong. So far it hasn't happened, but it might at some time in the future.
