It's a strategy meant to get points from someone else's [G28]. Or rather, a strategy where they put themselves in a position where you could inflict a [G28]. If you're bumping them sort of like an indication that "I'm here, and you're too close", and you only do it once or twice a match, you're probably OK, IMO. If you're doing it 5, 6, 7 times, especially if you're being aggressive about it, then you should expect to be T-fouled and carded.
Think about it like if you're playing Ultimate, and you think someone's too close to you while you have the Frisbee. So you swing your arm out to the appropriate distance, and if it hits them, they have to back up. But if you did that too often, you're holding up the game...
