From a comm I'm on, where someone requested a "beta." (Quotes from original poster):
Not so much looking for someone to proof it as much as I just want someone to read it over and give opinions.
Jesus Fucking Christ, people. You're trying to make blood squirt out my eyes, aren't you? I mean, SERIOUSLY. Nut up and get a beta or get the fuck out of the writing side of things. SERIOUSLY. If you're asking, YOU FUCKING NEED ONE.
Grow a goddamned pair and learn to take constructive feedback, you fucking PANSY.
The Husband: "But then people might be mean."
ME: "Die in a fire."
You know what makes people better writers? Knowing that they suck at something. Because then an actual EFFORT has to be exerted to produce something. If I want monkeys on typewriters, I can probably find someone with a fetish.
SERIOUSLY.
