I realize that you've been fed this line your whole life that most of humanity feels intimated by the gathering of milquetoast believers such as yourself. They don't.
You are saying that not you, but a mod, had the word Charlatan placed in your account where most of us have a rank?
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”
A few too many. But yes, relatively speaking, a few. And I’m not excusing them.

How many times have you complained to the Q15 about Mormon men ****ing children versus how many time you’ve complained to the mods about your hurt feelings? There’s your morality.

But, MG. Everyone is a sinner. Period. This has nothing to do with wolves in sheep's clothing.
If you are going to say that a person leaves the LDS Church just to drink coffee, I can say it is unlikely because plenty of Mormons drink coffee.
They are not wolves in sheep's clothing. They are garden variety sinners. You find them inside and outside of Mormonism.
There is no correlation between membership and sinner status for either critics or apologists to use.

MG didn't leave the Church to sin, he just secretly drank his ice tea and showed up in the pews every week. I don't think MG is a charlatan, but he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"I'm on paid sabbatical from BYU in exchange for my promise to use this time to finish two books."

I had a ‘godly’ rank if I remember correctly. I haven’t been here in a while. When I popped in today there it was. It actually sort of blew me away. I couldn’t believe it. But I’ve been around enough at this point in my life to have seen it all, so to speak. Did a mod do it? No idea. But they haven’t responded to my inquiry yet.

It’s actually just plain weird.
Agreed?
Agreed! And, really, not cool. I protest. I petition that your status be changed back to "God."

OK, but you essentially did say that. You were saying people left because they wanted to break the WoW.
ETA: I take that back. You did not.
