Jerk was the word I was looking for.. not mean. You are right.
Don't get me wrong, I won't help low laffers through the factory if I have a choice. That's all I need is another guy with suit at level 50 messing up my VP attempt and costing me 2 hours of gameplay.
Still, I think it's more reasonable to simply say "I think this is too risky for you" and teleport out. Trying to waste other people's gameplay by making them go sad is jerky.
