Personally, I think people spuriously have decided Wallace is a bad person, and I think the verifiable evidence is more to the contrary, though I grant that it isn't conclusive.
Also, as a minor point, Wallace has given his time as well as money. I don't think there are very many crooks and embezzlers who willingly give their time to the less fortunate. Again, though, I'm not saying that it automatically makes him a good person...but it's highly creditable and weighs far more to the positive than the ocassional rudeness that you or your friend perceived weighs in the negative, in my opinion.

My friend didn't "say it" I was there...I witnessed it on multiple occasions. I am sure that is part of the reason I am so biased. Sheed was rude and disrespectful on multiple occasions to myself, my friends, my coworkers etc.
I am sure you are aware of the Trailblazer X-mas tree give away. As a employee I helped with the give away each and every year. Players would also come out and help. So one year we are working our asses off unloading trees, loading more trees into people's cars etc. Damon, DD and Sheed show up to help...DD jumps right into the truck and starts tossing trees, Damon starts serving food to the kids and signing autographs...what does Sheed do? He stands off to the side talking on his cell phone for the entire hour never once lifting a finger to do a damn thing.
I am sure Sheed does do positive things for other people and the community but in my mind those few things don't do much to change his overall attitude and behavior. It's a matter of oppinion I guess.
