Re: Early Rejects

If the op doesn't want the scrutiny/attention/judgment (which definitely happened here) then I understand that they feel they can't ever do it, and it seems wrong to me to tell them not to worry as long as they have a 'good reason'.

The point still stands though that there's never going to be a "safe" time to reject a gift because someone could always notice.

I agree that it would be better not to bring up rejections after this much time, but it's never going to be guaranteed that nobody will notice and that nobody will talk about it so to act as though this person has ruined things for them and that they would otherwise have been safe is a bit ott.

I didn't get that impression from their comment at all. It was just an annoyed vent that someone was still tracking the collection and posting on Coal about it despite the fact that we're in mid-January now. Your point of how someone could always notice is true, but is also, well, missing the point. It's one thing for someone to randomly notice, another to be keeping a watchful eye and deliberately trying to get the comm to dissect whether the recip had a so-called good enough reason to reject.

+1 from someone who thinks that any reason a recip might have is good enough, and really dislikes this trend of judging whether they have the right to decide what's on their gift page.
