To add to this, you can always /try/ deleting your facebook account and see if it's for you.

It's not like facebook is a nightclub that will refuse re-entry once you leave or anything.

My account went inactive and eventually was disabled. To get back into the "nightclub" now, I must submit a copy of my photo ID to verify my identity. No thanks to the Facebook bouncer thugs guarding the entrance...

One has to assume anyone on facebook is ok with that though, it is the nature of the service these days, even if you joined before it was like that.

I had a similar experience, but submitted a picture of my congressman (who was standing in front of a billowing American flag) which was accepted without comment by Facebook.
