Hi there,
I have never been 'mean' to a person who is interested. (I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm just saying I have never done it.)
The only thing that bothers me is that sometimes people can be downright rude when they are asking about your org! I know I am not the only one to experience. I have had people interrupt me in the middle of conversation to ask me a question. When people ask 'inappropriate' questions, it doesn't bother me, because usually they are asking because they have no idea that it is 'inappropriate'. Also, questions about basic history/programs that can easily be found on the internet or the bookstore, can be a little disheartening. I would hope that someone who is interested would do some research about my organization before they break out in to questions. (How can they be interested in something they know nothing about?) There is a wealth of information out there that people can access nowadays. I crossed in 97 and there wasn't half as much information out there as there is today.
I've also noticed that interested women on the net are a LOT bolder than interested people I meet while I'm out. I have a lot of respect for women who come up to me in person to ask me a question, because I know that it took some 'guts' to walk up to a woman you don't know and ask about something you know is very dear to her.
I only get annoyed when someone is rude. I generally don't mind when people ask questions because I can talk about Zeta for hours and hours, I just hope people are courteous when they do!
