The emotional side of me feels that there is more condescension from the pessimistic crowd
But if I distance myself and try to take an honest look at it, I think the reality is that across the board people simply aren't as respectful as they should be to differing views. But we are more sensitive to it when we are on the receiving end.
But I don't think it makes sense that one side does it more or less than the other, because the behavior at play is simply that when someone's views don't align with ours, there is a temptation to take shots at them.
