HypersomniacLive: And this is where you're going wrong about the whole agreement. I only politely turn down gifts if I already have them, if they're not DRM-free, and when the gifter is actively refusing to be on the receiving end.
Did I not accept some gifts recently? One from you, for example? I have nothing against accepting gifts that are offered, in fact I am most grateful for them, I appreciate them very much, perhaps because I don't get them often. So I have shown I will not actively refuse a gift (unlike some ;-)), in fact, I don't recall ever refusing a gift. The fact that I don't have a public wishlist is not relevant in this argument. When I mentioned curiosity in some games and was gifted them, did I turn them down? Or did I graciously accept them with gratitude?
So, following your logic. "I only politely turn down gifts if:"
1. You already have them - obviously.
2. They are not DRM free - a.k.a. not from GOG.
3. Gifter actively refuses gifts - which I do not do.
So going by your argument, would you accept a gift from me? Or would you still refuse and make new rules as to the reason why you would turn it down? Will you stick to your three rules above?
