Delete user and email

    Hello,

    I recently decided that wp.com was not going to work for me. (not your fault)

    I want to delete the user and email from your site.
    Why? Because whenever I comment to a blog hosted on wordpress.com with my email, I have to log in to wp.com. I do not want to use your services.
    Is that simple.

    I want the account deleted and any active reference to my email address also deleted. You can keep it in your archives for whatever time you want, but I DO NOT WANT to be bugged with your interface and login forms just to post a stupid comment on a friend blog.

    The email k*****(email visible only to moderators and staff) and m*********(email visible only to moderators and staff) should not ne associated with wp.com. It’s damn annoying.

    Thank you!

    Please consider this an official request. I can go out and request a court order if needed. I also DO NOT CARE if you think this is just a stupid thing to ask. Also, again, your support kind of sucks. No link to talk to anyone who works at wp,com that can help. So this goes, as per your suggestions, in the comunity forums.

    I want the account deleted and any active reference to my email address also deleted.

    Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

    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”:
    http://wordpress.com/#!/following/subsettings/

    3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:
