In what way?

In that this comm has shown me depths of wank I was blissfully unaware of

The best part was the fact that I freaking beta'd for someone on the 'frequent wankers' list in a recent exchange and though I had absolutely no clue of their history, it was enough to give me a minor beta crisis and make me turn to a friend to vent and to a mod for advice

Can you spill any deets? I'm so curious about what went wrong or near-wrong with the beta.

Nothing too dramatic. Just a beta request that asked for feedback on several things except the one thing the story actually desperately needed, and after going to the mod for advice (I was pretty new to beta'ing), I stuck to what had been solicited and nothing else. Did my best, went on my way.

All things considered, I'm not surprised that the recip ended up rejecting the gift... And as beta I can't help but feel 1% bad for them even if it wasn't my fault. There, that's probably as detailed as I can be without going into de-anoning territory. I don't know how many people on the wank list regularly use betas, after all.
