How do I cancel my account on Facebook?

I want to get off Facebook altogether. There are entirely too many judgemental jerks on there.

If you want to deactivate your account, follow these steps:

1. Click the account menu at the top right of any Facebook page (the little gear icon)
2. Select "Account Settings"
3. Click "Security" in the left-hand column
4. Click "Deactivate your account"

If you want to delete your account (I think that's what you want to do?), go here:
