Twitter, WTF?!

I decided to kill my twitter account earlier this morning and attempted to go through with it just now. When I clicked the delete account link, An alert popped up saying that due to twitter stressing out, that feature has been disabled. Um, what? The ability to delete an account is pretty vital in my eyes, I do not want to be trapped in a service that I have no use for. How difficult is it to run a DELETE query in SQL?

I can delete my mobile phone info and my picture yet I cannot remove my account completely. This is not cool.
