As a 106 Laff toon (at the time) with fully maxed gags, I was confident I could handle anything the game could throw at me. But, to carry your analogy to its conclusion, if I'd arrived at the bullion mint and found some toons with 500 Laffs (approximately 5 times my Laff points, just like I have approximately 5 times the Laff points of a level 22 newbie) telling me it was too risky and asking me to please go away, I would've listened.

Some people want to try out the game and decide FOR THEMSELVES if it's too risky for them.
Then let them go in BY THEMSELVES, and not ruin the experience for the rest of us who know better. If a group of toons clearly does not want to go in the elevator with you, the polite thing to do is not try to force your way in.

By the way, did you ever ONCE think to consider kids that can't read? Hmmm?
Uh, just how young do you think the kids who play Toontown are? Kids learn to read around 2-4 years of age; I doubt a child too young to read would be able to play the game. Not to mention the fact that they must be very confused by their Toontasks. I mean, if you can't understand "recover a Cog Gear from a level 6+ Cog" you'd never make it out of Toontown Central.

That's a ridiculous point to raise. None of the newbs I've asked (politely at first, more firmly later on) to leave me alone has been unable to read. They've all responded "No" or "Don't be mean!" to "I think this is too risky for you" and "Please go away!"

You have to take into account the fact that smaller children don't understand the game, so they may think your mean by trying to force them out becase they don't understand that part of the game, and they never WILL unless you LET THEM SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES.
Then they can go in by themselves, and get themselves creamed. I'm under no obligation to go down with them.
