I don't know if this got mentioned, but Wikkid joined the schtick-heavy Cake Leeg fanatsy baseball group a few years ago as we needed another dude. It's a rag-tag group that's had its fair share of drama, but generally speaking, it's a fun group and very irreverent.
He played for a season and sent me a check (that's how I learned his real name) for a new season that was about to embark and I don't know who it was, but somebody made a comment in passing like "Wikkid is going to cheat again" or some such. It was an obvious joke, but boy howdy, he didn't take it that way. It's the first time I ever saw him snap and he. was. FURIOUS. He quit the league over it.
So, I sent him a PM and tried to mend matters, but he wasn't having it. He said he would not tolerate being called a cheat and no amount of apology or explanation was going to amend his stance. He was done. I asked if he wanted me to refund his money and he told me to send it to charity.
I hated that that happened. But I also respected a person who would refuse to continue after being called a cheater. And he didn't cheat, that's what was so weird about it, but he told me under no uncertain terms that his moral backbone was resolute in its position to quit.
