Well, I think it's great that you are able to recognize and label when you are projecting. That's a great step to be able to take.
I had a lot of trouble with the board at one time because of the enormous potential of the internet to be a huge blank screen on which to project. It took a lot of time in therapy before I came back here, and I still bring things from the board to therapy sometimes for some perspective.
Do you have a therapist right now? I can see you have the skill set to recognize projection. Do you have the skill sets to challenge the distorted thoughts that come from the projections? If not, that could be a good thing to work on in therapy.
If this place is a hotbed for potential problems, it is also a rich source of potential growth.
Good luck, whether you decide the board is a positive or a negative place for you, in doing what is best for you.
