I would keep them. They are just some poor misled people in need of a little bit of culture. So I would build some culture for them.
Unfortunately for me my enemies never refuse to take my cities.

The AI does weigh up the value of a city - I was at peace with the Japanese, and they moved 6 knights into the territory of my distant city with one spearman defending in order to sneak attack it. I gave the city as a gift to one of Japan's allies and Japan was furious at me straight away.

Japan turned that city down for fear that you could easily re-take it and decrease Japan's gold.

I didn't even know that the AI could reject a culture flip!! whenever I lose a city to culture, they keep it.

That's like a great thing to get though.
Since it's always my vital resource cities in the middle of enemy territory that I gained through massive bloodshed that flip, I would really love to see that happen!
So naturally I would let them back in...
Mebbe it's a random occurence. The AI is programmed to let one in every so many cities slip, in order to keep the game interesting...

That happened to me for the first time a few days ago..I was like, gee, thanks pal!

Question:

Would you, if you could, do the same thing and reject a culture flip?

I don't believe you have a choice, do you?

In future versions?

Opinions....

You can indeed reject a city that wishes to flip to your civ. I've done it before and I may well do it again.
