"deciding not to give someone a gift out of absolutely nowhere" as a matter of course, as a guiding philosophical principle, is categorically putting money before friends.

That's reading way too much into the earlier posts.

I'd say I'm reading into them the regular amount. Your entire premise is that you wouldn't just hand money to a friend for no reason. I challenged this mentality and whether or not such a friendship is ideal, offering a perspective into why there are more important things in life than money.

If this isn't your intent, you should reflect on how you've presented your argument.

I didn't say you have to say no, I said you can say no without any negative implications on your friendship.

I have no idea where you got saying no as a matter of principle.

Also if saying no is putting money above friendship then so is the friend asking for money for no reason!
