You make the choice to focus on suffering. Life is what you make of it, with near-infinite aspects to examine. If suffering is the aspect of life that you choose to focus your attention on, you'll undoubtedly find it in great quantity.
Also, unless I've missed something, I don't think I've seen too many folks here pushing you to leave or otherwise overtly rejecting you. Disagreement is not rejection. And going around telling people that they're going to become "judgmental horrors" is a really good way of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy - I mean, surely you realize that could be pretty insulting to those who aren't trying to judge you, right?
Basically, if you're going to leave, at least leave for honest reasons. It would be your own choice, nothing else. Passively blaming the group for what you fear might happen is just avoiding responsibility for your own decisions.
Or if you choose to stay, that's fine by me. I think this place is improved by having more and different points of view, not through some sort of enforced conformity. But that would require you having the willingness to face philosophical disagreement without taking it too personally.
Either way, best of luck wherever your path takes you. Just try to remember that you are loved. Really!
