I don't think you need to maintain the anonymity of someone who wrote a
rejection letter like this--apparently a few editors out there think that
they can insult and degrade the works of others with impunity.

Given that the writer has sent a clean, properly formatted manuscript to an
appropriate journal or magazine, and that the writer has done the research
and *knows* the magazine publishes the style of writing he or she produces,
there is no excuse for a magazine that accepts unsolicited submissions
to insult a writer's efforts in this way.
