When you are logged in - visit the blog in question and in the gray upper nav bar at the top of the screen you will see the blog name - mouse over the name and choose "reoprt as spam" from the menu - be sure to explain the why clearly and put a link to the Post / Page / Comment that you are flagging to make it easy for the TOS staff to find the offending material. Not as big a club as a DMCA notice but easier

You retain copyright to your words. If they were changed against your will and are displayed on a website, you have a legitimate DMCA claim.

Also, that will set the blogger back. It might get the blog suspended.

There's actually a bug that's preventing people from using the "change username" link right now. I reported it a couple of days ago and I'm hoping it will be sorted out soon.

You should be able to change your display name in both the WordPress.com and Gravatar profiles for now, however.

You should also update your Gravatar information, as that may be pulled automagically when you post on someone's blog.

To do that, go to http://en.gravatar.com/

In the menubar at the very top, go to My Account > Edit My Profile and update your name etc. there.

A number of commenting systems do allow you to edit or delete your comment so I hope that WordPress at least considers adding such a feature in the future. If there's any way to pass that on to The Powers That Be I'd appreciate it.

In this case, because of a purely technical issue, I cannot so I am asking for technical assistance.
