Am I the only one who has a strangely polar reaction to forums? This is my third forum or so. My first I still contribute to. It is technical and thus not very personal. My second was a music forum in French. I was trying to kill a couple birds with one stone. It was on this forum that I first noticed that I would sometimes wish I could erase all my posts, delete my user id, etc. in an instant to get rid of a sort-of 'exposed' feeling. Not to mention how awful I would feel after arguing with someone, which is commonplace on this music forum. With this forum (psychcentral), I tend to feel as though my comments will be judged in a way other than I intended or that my 'virtual presence' will annoy someone else and destroy the experience for them. Does anyone else experience this?

This forum, like others, doesn't appear to have an option to delete oneself or else I would have done it already. Maybe I just missed how to do it?
