Honestly who cares? Both my wife and I graduated
magna cum laude from the Y. Sure it ain't summa, but then again I don't think anyone cares about either one. All they care about is what research we did at school, what our professors thought of us, and most importantly what job experience and performance we currently have. No, the guy I know who actually went to Harvard is definitely smarter than me, and I doubt anyone cares that he wasn't cum laude (at least I don't think so). I probably would have had a hard time graduating from Harvard assuming of course I could even get in (which I couldn't).
No one cares, except that he lied on his resume, and when caught, changed it.
The fact that this was an online bio posted on his law firm's website (not just any law firm, but a major international law firm in which Mr. Crockett is a partner) made it at very least an awkward moment.
You are wrong. You are defamatory. But, I expect nothing less.
Come on. You even explained it away at the time.
When bishops are that morally flawed, what kind of example can they set for all their ward members?
Does your stake president know about your posts here? Personally, if I were your stake president I'd consider your activities here a liability and an embarassment to the stake.
You well know you have made this argument before, at least twice I recall. Nobody's perfect, least of all my inadequate self. Are you the member of this Board who reported me to my stake president? Such courage, to make an anonymous charge -- both here and to him.

I've never reported you to anyone, and didn't even know which stake you were in until the past few days, when you were trumpeting your "anonymous coward" refrain again to anyone who'd listen.
I'm not that sort of person. I might be trying to point out to you how vulnerable you are online by making so much in real life information readily available when you post with your real name, but anything between you and your religious or business leaders is entirely your business. You want to pad a resume on your law firm's website? More power to you. Just don't make arguments about honesty and truthfulness. You want to make arguments about posting real names? Then just don't post anonymously. You want to complain about being stalked because of having too much in real life information available? Then post anonymously.
As I pointed out to you earlier this week. . . it takes less than ten minutes online to find your bio on your law firm's website, and from there your political contributions, your address, the assessed value of your house, and the ward you belong to of which you are now bishop.
I'd recommend, if you want to be more anonymous and protect your own identity and that of your family, that you pull the information on you on FARMS and FAIR. That's the place people are most likely to link you to other in real life information available online.
Stop making assumptions about others if you don't like it done to you. And stop whining about all this, really; you brought it on yourself when you started criticizing someone else for posting anonymously, when that person is someone you don't know personally, either, who might be a person of both good character and intent, wanting to protect both himself and his family from exactly the sort of thing you're complaining about now.
