Yes, I mentioned this distinction yesterday here:

Of Noah's laws, 6 are negative and 1 is positive.

But sometimes the distinction isn't so clear.  For example "don't dress provocatively" is the same as "dress modestly".  The point is that when "do not ..." includes the default case (naked in this case), then it becomes positive.

Laws that attempt to be universal should tend towards the more flexible negative laws.  But laws for a small forming group should include positive laws that force action and demonstrate commitment.
