I guess it depends on the level of support you are asking for. Bare in mind
some people have many associates and it is an impossibility to give support
to someone who is just an acquantance. Obviously I dont know your exact
situation, its just something to keep in mind.

Besides that, I dont see it as cruel, its their time, their choice, they can
do what they like, it only becomes cruel when they activly choose to inflict
something on you.

Its like me asking you to pass the salt. You dont have to, sure its nice to,
but you shouldnt be condemend for not doing so.
