  I would like to actually delete my account. Yes, it is possible. Just do it. The fact that you make it so hard only makes me want to do it more.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com accounts cannot be deleted for security reasons. Imagine being able to delete your account and then later on someone else creating an account with the same username impersonating you.

  I suggest changing the username and the email address you provided in yourAccount page, thus disassociating WordPress.com from you.

  You can read more in this support doc:

  Yeah I saw that. That’s fucking stupid. There is no reason why I should not be able to delete my account. Impersonate me all you want, I don’t care.
