Can you delete my account please?

Accounts here cannot be deleted, but you can delete the blog yourself from the Dashboard Tools page.

So if someone hacks into my account, and starts using it to defame me or slander me, WP cannot delete an account?

So what if you delete your account name and I get the name and post all over the internet as you – remarks on lots of porn sites etc. – not releasing account names (deleting) is really for your protection – also have you not heard of using a real long long password?

Username accounts are not ever deleted but there are steps you can take that result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/ please note the following:1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
