Jeez, I didn't know I was offended...
The structure of this sentence comes across with that implication:
... it seems the only negative poster is Tom_H, he commented in my thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...0-putting-woods-bh-my-7610-a.html#post1647638 about a subframe for the BH70-X.
In the first half of the sentence, an independent clause, you state that I am being negative. Creating a compound sentence, you follow that with another independent clause citing my comment in an earlier and completely different thread. In the normal structure of sentences, this following independent clause would serve as a concrete example of what you are saying in an abstract manner in the first independent clause. Following the formal structure of writing, the meaning of the sentence, as written, is: "Tom_H is the only one making negative comments, here is an example of this from a place where he made a similar kind of negative comment in another thread." This is the inference that any well trained reader should take from the sentence. Though it is not clear why you would otherwise cite that earlier thread and post in reference to this one, I now believe that was not what you intended to imply.
