" Often the positive thing will be more important than the negatives, at least in the context of what's being talked about. It may be spoken to someone who the speaker doesn't know the opinion of (where a negative viewpoint is common and so expected), or to someone who the speaker knows will view things negatively. It can be spoken before or after a negative thing has or might be said.

Thank you very much indeed.
Would you please give me some examples?

Seeing the positive as bigger than the negative:-
Say what you like about the colour of my car, it's the fastest in town.
Seeing some positive in a negative:-
Say what you like about my exam results, at least I tried.
Neutralising a negative:-
Say what you like about my taste in music, it doesn't harm anyone.
