Colour me confused

Colour me confused
I don't get it.

I've visited the websites of many members where I've noticed egregious mistakes in grammar, spelling and punctuation. Several times now, I have offered my proofreading services for free (free!, I tells ya) only to be rebuffed. 😳 Seriously, what the…?

I've mentioned before that I've modelled myself on Mr. Spock since my late teens, so usually am I unsurprised by behaviour I consider illogical, but I must confess this particular situation has me stumped completely.

Pray, someone who understands, kindly share with me your insight—thanks. 😊

Satori!

Oh wait! Just this very second, I've had a moment of inspiration.

Do folk think that in order to proofread their website I'd need editorial access? 🤔🤦

Lolz. C'mon, peeps: it does not. 🤣

Okay, just to be crystal clear, as a proofreader, all I'd do is send one or more private messages pointing out suggested corrections. So, maybe this was the problem?
