Opponent “Misclicks”, Blunders Queen, Then Asks for Draw

My opponent left his queen hanging, I took it, he then sent me a message claiming it was a misclick. He then sent me a draw request, like he was entitled to it. I of course declined then took his undefended knight. He resigned.
Was it arrogant of him to expect me to grant him a draw? Or was I a jerk for not believing him? Are we entitled to relief from our misclicks?

Hmm. So many queens are left hanging in blitz.

He should have just resigned.

There are no take-backs.

On the other hand, when you do notice moves that seem like obvious mis-clicks, such as moving the king one square instead of castling, it is gracious to offer a draw.

Yeah, I mean it's really a question of ethics here, I do think that a person should let the game be draw, but then again I have no morals and I would decline immediately.

I wouldn’t say you have any moral obligation to accept a draw after a misclick, but you can if you want to.

I kinda doubt he misclicked. You were in the right there.
