do you think it is cowardly not allow your opponent to take back after a mouse slip

From my perspective, it is cowardly

Well, it's OK not to allow a take back since thats still their fault, but I do think it's a good thing to do. If I'm playing with anyone I know I let them take back, but I usually don't if they're winning anyways.

Even more cowardly is letting one's time run out after the takeback was declined.

If you are playing chess over the board and your opponent touch a piece accidentally, or in a online tournament and your opponent make a mouse slip, it is understandable that we will do anything to win. If it is not a important game, what is the reason behind trying to win by all cost.
