We require a valid email for registration as an anti-spam measure, but you can garble the email afterwards.
What does garble mean in this context? What would be accomplished by removing your email after registration?
If we get pwned, or otherwise compromised, one cannot tie your username to an email. The same reason the OP doesn't want to provide an email I guess.
Oh right, the email!
