Yes or no ...... would this be an example of fleecing the flock?

You mean when Elisha told the widow woman to feed him her last meal. If she had not given, then God could not have moved and prospered her. If you have something against titheing, then you have something against God blessing the tither.If a man wants God's influence for a job, then tithe. If he wants God to be silent about it, then keep your old 10%.
