Hey Ryan, 

I have a question for you that might be of general interest for the FxA team. 
Nick Chapman created this issue for Idea Town which calls for letting users 
“delete their Idea Town account”  [1]. I assume what’s meant by this is 
something like: “as a user, i would like to terminate my relationship with Idea 
Town such that any data I have exchanged with Idea Town can no longer be 
associated with me in any way.”

Importantly, this is service specific and does not mean “I want to delete my 
Firefox Account.”

Since we will transact considerable data about users, letting users opt out of 
their relationships with Idea Town seems totally reasonable and inline with 
Mozilla's principles. The problem here is semantic: using language like “delete 
my account” or “delete my Idea Town account” is woefully inaccurate. 

So my question for you is this: if we were to make some UI to allow users to 
terminate their relationship with Idea Town, what language would you recommend? 
What is the concise, user-friendly way of saying “please disassociate me from 
Idea Town”? 

Thoughts?
