the stupid Reverse Psychology trend in posting and banners - GoFuckYourself.com

Do people actually like these?

I find it more annoying than anything... what I mean by the "reverse psychology" trend meaning banners for a company that say something like "Stop this company they are ruining the industry"... or threads that say "Damn you XYZServers" and then go on about how the poster is in love with the company etc

it seems to be an every day occurence lately that sucks

I hate threads bashing reverse psychology.

I often avoid drama threads. I do know I have seen some thread titles with mad face icons and shit - saying something bad about a company, or so and so inside now DRAMA! etc. I pretty much avoid clicking the thread, if I never use them. However I would imagine they could stick somewhere in my mind as something was negative or people complained about them. Without me thinking about it.

Reverse psychology - if you play Another One Bites the Dust by Queen backwards - it says "I like to smoke marijuana".
