This is what I took exception to. Pretty obvious to the vast majority here that Vikki is not an example of that type of person.

If someone takes an unfair or unsubstantiated shot at someone I know, I'll call them on it. If in the end I was wrong to do so, I'll gladly apologize but I'll need more than one side of the story.

This appears to be more about perception than fact. If you don't agree with the outcome, change the conditions for next time or ensure that there isn't a next time. Either way, learn from it and move on.
