(135,425 posts)You can go around and delete each one of your individual posts, then log out (changing password to gibberish, as someone else kindly suggested) and never return, or just stop posting.
If you do a search of DU, you'll find these instructions repeated to others dozens of times.
If you want to do a "Goodbye, Cruel World" post, just do one and don't be disingenuous about it. Expect to be mocked--GBCW posts usually are--but have your say and be done with it, if it means that much to you.
This is a rough-and-tumble discussion group; though not nearly as nasty as some of the unmoderated ones. If you don't have thick skin, and if you cannot tolerate differences of opinion that will undoubtedly arise in the Big Tent, you're better off making your exit.
Telling people to eff themselves? That's not helpful.
You could always run around spewing invective at your fellow DUers and get banned--that would close down your account irrevocably.
