Ok, there are so so many bad takes on this thread. I might have to wash my eyes out with bleach after reading it.
If a friend snipes you (whether intentionally or not), there is nothing rude about politely asking them to give 1.9. Are they obligated to give you 1.9? No, of course not. Then again, if they chose not to give you 1.9 after you politely ask, you can remove them from your FL. Many players such as myself level GBs via 1.9/1.92/1.95. So, we expect people on our FL to give at least that, or they will get the boot. I choose to ask people on my FL to just never donate onto my GBS at all, since I use 1.9+ threads to level my GBS. If they do donate, I will ask them politely to stop. If they keep doing so, they will be kicked. I very rarely get sniped however, since I generally prime by buildings quickly and get the spots taken quickly.
"but in my opinion they are not much of a friend if they expect you to unnecessarily spend FP just so they don't have to." This makes next to 0 sense. them asking you to bump up your contribution to 1.9 isn't an unnecessary expenditure. And it doesn't cost you any FP really, besides the profit you might have made. All you are doing is helping your friend save FP.
I disagree with Johnny's logic that request to give 1.9 are "rude" and "unnecessary". If people politely ask me to give 1.9 after I've sniped them, I'm more then happy to do so, because I know that i'll get the 1.9 contribution back in full anyway. He can choose to play how he want though I suppose.
Please keep in mind that this is coming from me, a person that does snipe regularly, and does add people to my FL to snipe. I do play semi-competitively, unlike some folks. And, that's alright. But, if somebody like Johnny is on my FL and they think it's fine to give me less then 1.9, well then they are going to be kicked from my FL. I am fully within my rights to expect at least 1.9 on my GBS, since when people ask me for 1.9 I'm more than willing to give it, even if I end up losing profit on the snipe.
