Giving should always be done cheerfully. If one is not a cheerful giver, then there is a problem. Often, legalism is that problem.

Well you have a point of course but first of all what is and isn't deemed legalistic or a requirement is subjective.
Secondly, I'm not sure that people are close fisted because tithing is taught as a requirement. Some people just don't want to give and are selfish and self-centered. Simple as that.
Thirdly, I wasn't excusing anything.
