Reasons you would want to open this thread.

[DRoseDARs]

Yes, the title is copycat, but the content and purpose aren't. I'm curious why people open threads by posters they dislike or believe to be "disjointed" in the head, or threads with titles that are descriptive enough to indicate that you're not going to like what's inside. What is the fascination with looky-loo'ing (or rubber-necking if you prefer) trainwreck threads? Is it an innate desire for conflict? Or is it more like the curiosity that drives one through a city zoo?

For me, there aren't any posters that I simply cannot not tolerate. I'll still grit my teeth and open their threads. Even titles that make my eyebrows raise in a bad way don't make me shy away from a thread. I'm not sure what makes me do it, but what besides the Power of Christ compels you?

Discuss.

I don't bother to look at the poster if I think the thread title is a good one... Though I always open Pekka's threads, but then I'm a masochist.

People open my threads 'cause they're hoping I'd post more hot guys.

Asher, I'm still working on finding my stashes of safe pictures for the hunk thread. I hadn't realized this'd be such a pain.

I had a ton of great pics that can't be posted while the mods are around, too.

Can't recall any poster that I dislike (can't either decide wether it's early Altzheimer or that such simply isn't worth remembering ).

Mostly it's common curiosity that makes me open a suspicious thread, but there are also lots of unopened threads (us politic, potential canuck flamewar threads etc).

I should work on becoming more acquainted with the concept of organization...

Picasa

I was think more along the lines of organizing files on physical media, as in DVDs, that isn't subject to Teh Intertubeses and computers going all wonky and sh*t.

Back on topic!
