If you really feel you want to be removed then I am sure Shaun will be happy to sort you out.
Personally, I would (as I have done many times before) take a break, read a few posts and see how you feel later. Despite your initial impressions, I can vouch that this forum has proven to have had a very positive impact own my life.
Thing is, the written word is so easy to misconstrue , and the internet is the worst place for that to happen.
If the members that you had friction with we're to meet you, the conversation would most definitely have been different.
Stick with it, it'll be worth it.
