Some more examples where verb is negative

a) verb is distant from ne...ne...

"Benim beğeni alanımda ümit yaşar oğuzcan ne büyük şair, ne iyi şair, ne de umutla bakılacak genç bir şair olarak yer alamıyor." (Mehmet Fuat - "çağını görebilmek", pg. 124)

b) verb is a "fiilimsi" (verbal clause)

adfiil (noun clause)
Ne matematik no fizik ne de kimyayı becerememek okuldan atılmasına sebep oldu.

sıfatfiil (adjective clause)
Ne kemanı ne piyanoyu iyi çalamadığı görünüyor.

zarffiil (adverb clause)
Ne Ali'yi ne Veli'yi bulamayınca bana gelmiş.

I have already provided sufficient examples backing my statement "Verb doesn't need to be negative but can be negative in some cases with the same meaning" though just one example would suffice.

Against it, the following statement was made:
"it just can't be negative when used the correlative conjunction "ne...ne (de)".

Well that's a strong one which can be falsified by just one counter-example.

I don't think I have to prove anything or provide any link in the Internet or such. The examples I have provided are good enough to support my statement.

As a final example I will give one more where the verb both is distant from ne...ne and is also a "fiilimsi".

Ne et ne süt ne yumurta ne de doğru dürüst yiyecek başkaca bir şey bulamayınca zayıf düşÃ¼p hastalandı.
