Might seem like nitpicking but I don't think something like this would be enough. Since we don't actually know who OP is how can we be "scandalized' by his sin? Now if it was his Facebook page that might do it.
I know, silly details. Also you're right about the padding, that's standard practice. Even if you're excommunicated formally by the leadership they keep your records.
