The original point was that such an excommunication would have definitely gotten him fired from BYU, but they'd already fired him! The church pursued him after that, and for them excommunication is a huge penalty, much worse than losing your job. Wright defended himself somewhat in a couple of letters, but wasn't about to submit to people who didn't understand his work. He seems to have put the whole thing in perspective and had a reasonably happy life after the fact.</blockquote>
