I think the key aspect to being excommunicated is that you have to do something public that someone high up in the church doesn't like.

If I write a play, where say, one Mormon mission kills his companion.....I won't be exed. Because the play will suck and will never see the light of day.

But if it did see the light of day.....all bets are off.
I think there's a difference between private personal apostasy/wrongdoings and public apostasy/wrongdoings which directly/indirectly encourage others in the faith to do so likewise.
