The tone of your post doesn't come across as very professional. "when we got this rejection, we immediately posted it publicly" - were you one of the authors, contributors or involved in writing it?

I have read the paper, and the rejection notes you linked to, and I can't evaluate them (lack of time + lack of experience in this field) but they don't come across as snooty dismissals. Feels more like guys on all sides trying their best.

Yes, I am one of the authors of the paper.

Rereading it now, it's mixed. I definitely have a milder reaction than I did at the time. Thanks for challenging me on this.
