I don't read reversals either, largely for many of the same reasons stated here in this thread. With 78 cards, almost every condition is presented in some way in the upright position, and I do try to consider all angles of the card as they relate to the other cards, using my intuitive response to position, imagery and question.
With that said, once in a while, a reversed card asks me to read it as reversed. Rarely happens, but when it does, I go with it. I don't use reversals as the all-negative (or all-positive) opposite of a given card, instead I consider whether the reversal indicates the upright situation is blocked, or not yet manifested. Other times I've seen the reversal in a literal, visual way - like the Queen of Cups' world has been turned upside down! Etc.
But typically, no reversals.
