Yeah we are all-to-human.

At least we don't burn them at the stake.
I have not called all editors idiots. When a person acts like an idiot then there is no reason not to point it out to him/her. As you say "at least we do not burn them at the stake"; however, there are other means to inflict pain and these have become highly developed within the scientific community. The "system" needs an urgent overhaul. Judgments should be made on scientific content and not on the probability that a new idea is unlikely when it is not in line with previous Nobel Prizes.
