It took me longer to review your paper than it did for you to write it.

Consider this as more of an intervention than a rejection.

Of course you should submit to our journal. We will afford your manuscript all the attention it deserves by hiding it behind a paywall so high and wide that no one -- including you -- will be able to read it.

I always read the manuscript. Except when I don't.

I'm rejecting your paper because you're wearing a bow tie on your faculty webpage.

If I see you in my follower list I'll be less inclined to reject your paper. That's just how objective a grumpy reviewer I am.

What is this "constructive criticism" of which you speak?

Journal Editor, then: "#978 out of 1034?! Journal ranking metrics are so subjective and biased! I hate them!"

Journal Editor, now: "I love me them rankings! We're up to #328 out of 1034!"
