I've noticed from the comments that perhaps my previous post calls for some explanation:

Main Entry: moldy
Pronunciation: 'mOl-dE
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): mold·i·er; -est
1 : of, resembling, or covered with a mold-producing fungus
2 a : being old and moldering : CRUMBLING b : ANTIQUATED, FUSTY
- mold·i·ness noun

Main Entry: crap·py
Pronunciation: 'kra-pE
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): crap·pi·er; -est
slang : markedly inferior in quality : LOUSY

Main Entry: 1dwarf
Pronunciation: 'dworf
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural dwarfs /'dworfs/; also dwarves /'dworvz/
Usage: often attributive
Etymology: Middle English dwerg, dwerf, from Old English dweorg, dweorh; akin to Old High German twerg dwarf
1 a : a person of unusually small stature; especially : one whose bodily proportions are abnormal b : an insignificant person
2 : an animal or plant much below normal size
3 : a small legendary manlike being who is usually misshapen and ugly and skilled as an artificer
4 : a star (as the sun) of ordinary or low luminosity and relatively small mass and size
- dwarf·ish /'dwor-fish/ adjective
- dwarf·ish·ly adverb
- dwarf·ish·ness noun
- dwarf·like /'dwor-"flIk/ adjective
- dwarf·ness /'dworf-n&s/ noun

So, does it make more sense now? I am a star of ordinary luminosity and relatively small size of markedly inferior quality that resembles a mold producing fungus.

Was that so complicated?

Well, that clears everything up.

Then, no, you're not. I wouldn't say you're of markedly inferior quality.
