This is the sort of condescending, elitist, nasty behavior I've seen from spam zealots on the NeoBoards...

People are trying to get HELP here. Don’t be selfish and post spam just because YOU think that its funny. Its not, its just plain rude.
And it is rude to make assumptions, friend. I am trying to help others, but you do not realize it. I reward those who show kindness and helpfulness on the boards, and help those who are down on their luck or need money; those who are hardened and flame newbies or people whose actions they cannot understand receive nothing. You do understand, don't you? I made that board to help people.
Got my reply, a few minutes later.

you are asking who is nice. that is spam whether you want to admit it or not. I reward people for helping but i dont post boards about it, because i dont need to be recognized for that. No one is down on their luck, this is a game and poor=lazy here. If you want to do a good deed then just do it, you dont have to let everyone know, that defeats the purpose.
Of course, my board title was "Are you a charitable soul?" I make the boards to see if people really are- You see, a lot of people on the Help Board will label it automatically as begging or spamming though they haven't seen where the board is going or what the reason behind the madness is.

You don't see it, do you? I don't DIRECTLY STATE that I am giving these things out. I don't crave recognition. I want people to be rewarded for kindness, and that is help as I see it. Poor does not mean lazy here. Poor can mean unskilled or ignorant, or simply unlucky (Random Events, mail crackers, et cetera.) I'm sorry if I offended you, but I still feel that there is nothing wrong with the board I made. If you feel that a board is spam, you should not bump it by telling off the person who made the board.
Thinking the matter settled, I went about my business only to get a callous reply a couple minutes later.

Poor does equal lazy when even my 11 year old sister is making 15k a day in about an hour playing games.
You are believing what people tell you here, that just makes you naive. Stop trying to buy friends/popularity here, its just really sad.
I will post whatever i want whereever i want, i certainly dont need a 12 year old like you telling me what to do. Have fun being scammed and trying to buy strangers for friends, i feel sorry for you.
What's most offensive about this is that I'm fifteen, and that it appears to me as though she believes people who ARE twelve aren't capable of being smart and kind. She blocked me from sending anything more to her.
Perhaps I could pin this sort of thing on people who clog, spam, and scam on the boards, that harden people like this to the point that they become bitter toward anyone who thinks differently from them. I quote her lookup:
Dont blame me because you mistake my honesty for rudeness. Thats your problem, not mine - Honestly, I haven't seen someone so self-righteous and condescending on Neo aside from myself
I'm not hurt, but I am annoyed.
Have you met someone like this? This is hardly a worst-case scenario, just a random Neopian being rude- but if you have any examples, post 'em here
