Executing those who would not take up arms to defend their country is a tyrannical thing to do – and yet Moroni did that after restoring Pahoran to the judgment seat. I’m not claiming that he truly was a tyrant, just noticing that without context his actions could make him appear so. Enemies would certainly make such a claim. Abraham Lincoln also did some things that could be seen as tyrannical. The point is, we have to have the spirit to discern when things truly are excessive be when they may be necessary. (Hindsight is often required for that.)
