My logic there was the object the method is attached to isn't a redditor object, rather an object representing the reddit session. So naming it just 'delete', as in 'delete this object', might have implied deleting the *session* rather than the logged in user. Hence the explicit delete_redditor naming -- pointing to the 'redditor' rather than the object itself. 

I checked and reddit *does* verify for password correctness upon delete, so it's safe in any case. I'll rename the method to delete for the next commit unless I hear otherwise from you guys.
