Why all the histrionics? Why not just ask, "Ask PG: How do I delete my account?" I'm just so full of questions for someone like randomhack...

"Why delete it? Why not just stop coming here?" "Why is it that, if a company doesn't have a 'Delete my acct' button, they are evil?"

Why do you want to delete your account?

The author's name is pretty inconspicuous (randomhack), but if it was like mine, it would be tied to a bunch of other online websites with the same name/identity. Maybe he doesn't want that to be indexed on Google. There could be a variety of reasons. Anyways, IMHO deletion of one's account should be possible for every service for any reason.

It could. If you are unhappy with something in particular maybe it can be fixed. I just think each and every one here is very valuable and if they must leave, they are also taking away their contribution (submitted links, comments). So if there is something that can be done to avoid it, then why not?

Now on the flip side, if you are firm, then I totally respect your decision and you should be able to delete your account as well as all your links and comments.

Well, we're reasonably curious, I think... you don't seem to have said anything particularly incriminating in your comments, so what's the point?
