No bowing allowed. We are all just people. I may be relatively new to this game, but I'm not new to gaming in general. I have always enjoyed being generous with my friends, and have found most friends to be equally as generous with me. It's just the way some people play, and we seem to find each other no matter what the game.

And, like everyone else, I find that I like some people more and some people less. That is only natural. And if I ever choose to not friend someone in the game, I, like everyone else, have the right to not be game friends with them. I'm sure there are many who make that choice about me, as well. It's fair and normal. No one ever needs a reason.

I, like most people, play games to relax and have fun. That means that when I see someone in the game who brings a smile to my face, then I want to see them more. If not, then it's not a good match for me (and I'm most likely not a good match for them, either).

Also to be sure, my decision was based on more than just that one comment. As I said before, it is also based on my own experience and his openly stated preference to not even look at who's sending him what gifts. Maybe it's selfish on my part, but when I send gifts to my friends, I like for them to know it's from me. Knowing that anything I send would just go into a big pile of anonymous gifts just doesn't fit with my joy of giving. My joy is based around imagining their joy at receiving them. Therefore, it's a mismatch.

And, lastly, I also know that my singular friendship really means nothing in the big scheme of things. I'm just one of the millions of people playing this game. My choice to friend or not be friends with any single player will not change anything for them. It would be rather grandiose of me to think it would.
