  On WordPress.com blog any user can post comment by using my username, blog URL and e-mail. All this information are open to anyone. So how can I prevent myselve from this action? I found that someone is posting comments from my name and my Gravatar is shown there… :(

  If they have access to your email, they can definitely post a comment with it and have your gravatar displayed. That’s an unfortunate side-effect of the public nature of the web, and there’s really no way to control it besides disputing it with the blog’s owner.
