Oh my.

[Ooops, I wasn't aware this was from last April; it was the top thread of a new forum, and so I assumed it was recent.  Too late now.  I've "invested" too much time in copying-and-pasting it, so I'm posting it anyway.]

There should be an adult way to permanently close a DU account.
 
My understanding has been that the only way to close an account is to create a gobbledy password, but I've tried that twice without success.

Seriously, we joined as adults, let us exit as adults. Have a close function!!

If there is one that I don't know about, please inform.

4. If you know a way to delete an account, please share.
 
I site searched and got nothing except changing passwords to ones you can't possibly remember. Seriously, if there is an ADULT way to do it, please share.

9. I've never really understood this issue when it comes up.
 
What would be accomplished with a newly created 'close account' function that doesn't happen by people simply logging out of DU (on all their devices) and then just never logging in again?

Yeah.  How hard is that?

Exiting DU as an adult merely means a cessation in posting without explanation, rant, apology or diatribe.

18. But drama. They want drama!
 
It is not enough to leave. There needs to be a big production to highlight how the wicked establishment has run them off this one great site.

It is kind of funny that they are forced to ignobly leave! 

^^^Uh huh.  That's it, exactly.

21. You do know don't you
 
that when you create a gobbledygook password, you're not supposed to write it down?

My understanding has been that the only way to close an account is to create a gobbledy password, but I've tried that twice without success.

For real, how does someone create a gobbledygook password and successfully remember it?

Adult way to leave DU - log out and never log back in < < < < <

Semi-adult way to leave DU - create a gobbledygook password by closing your eyes and typing random letters and numbers. Or have a 5 year old neighbor kid do it and make him promise never to divulge what he typed in.

Crybaby way to leave DU - whine about not being able to leave in an adult way.

Simple. Stop going to DU.

If LW keeps posting things that make sense (s)he could wander into Tombstone Territory. Probably little danger of that, since (s)he didn't demonstrate this technique 26,000 DU-posts ago.

Ahhh, isn't that the Smithovich and Westokovski "Chairman Mao's Thoughts Give Me Two Extra Cylinders" official Soros Brigade revolver?

Should be standard issue to every new member entering the DUmp!
