Yeah, I'm sure you're right. We weren't that close, but I thought we were good enough fandom friends and she didn't seem like the overly sensitive type otherwise I would never have agreed to beta for her. I'm still confused by what happened because honestly, it was NOT a major critique by any stretch. I thought she'd just go, "Oh, whoops, my bad!" and then fix it. It was like... on level with a typo. Pointing out a typo isn't a personal attack, ffs, who in their right mind holds a grudge for that sort of thing?

Now I don't beta for anyone. :(

I find I learn as much doing beta for other people as getting beta myself, and it's a lot easier (emotionally) giving than getting beta. It's a pity that it put you off entirely but understandable.

When people over-react bizarrely on the internet I find it leaves me so confused. I left a message on a comm last year, literally one sentence and a link I thought might be useful. I was piled on and attacked.

Luckily I was able to talk about it on a private post on another comm I'm a member of, asking everyone else to explain what I'd done wrong. They were able to tell me that the other people had just over-reacted, and then likely got their friends to join in. My mistake was in inadvertently pointing out the person had posted something wrongly, even though I'd tried to do it in a helpful way.

Like you, next time I won't bother. At the time, I nearly confuse-quit the internet. I would have, without other people to talk to.

Some people really just go crazy if anyone even suggests they're not perfect at all times, even though no one is always perfect. It can be confusing and disorientating to meet a person like that. So much.
