I saw this exchange on IRC early this morning. I would imagine that a user 
would expect to go to Idea Town to wipe any of their Idea Town data 
(potentially in an Account or Settings section, that would also show the link 
to the Firefox Account).

While I am using LucidChart with Mozilla SSO, it refers to it as “closing” 
(e.g. "You will no longer be able to log in to view or edit any of your 
documents.” [Close your Lucidchart account])

We may want to be more explicit about wiping the data.

Something like the two options:

[ Delete Idea Town account data ]
[ Log out ]

Something like that?
