Luckily my husband came home right after he came and I did not have to be interrogated.
How would you feel if this was done to you !
Because of this I now feel I have to have my account deleted.
Somebody crossed a line, no matter how good you felt your intentions were.

I think you are doing the wrong thing here.
You have no control over the intentions of others.
You have control over the information you provide.
I thought that it was impossible to do what this person did to you.
So I went to my profile to see what info is there.
Interestingly enough, my zip code is there. That is fairly identifying. But it should not be available to anybody but the site administration, anyway.
So I will keep the zip code there for now hoping that I would be OK.
Please examine how you could have leaked personally identifying information (PII). I hope the site administration will help you with that. They should be able to do all they can to protect your personally identifying information - I am certain that they are truly committed to preserving PII of all the users of the forum.
