If that's accurate, that's very disappointing!!  I empathize with you - I've "thumbed up" a couple of postings I strongly dissent with, and hope others will do the same as long as the comments are civil and relevant - I'd suggest you might want to resubmit and hope for more ethical reviews from more ethical reviewers _ I think we have plenty of those!! I'd like to see your post if you send them to me on Facebook, and give you feedback,,
