So there it is. janrinok did not respond directly to my challenge, like a gentleman, but he is English, so some accommodation is in order.
But he did, or, at least he might have, reigned in his dog, (and, yes, I know that the proper word is "reined", but there was precipitation) and with that admission, I consider the matter to be partially closed.
In the future, I expect aristarchus submissions to be given equal consideration with all other submissions, and not be dismissed without cause, hint, or license. And I expect Editors to be able to distinguish alt-right agitprop, and islamophobic hysteria, and Runaway submissions when they fit one of those categories,
But, and let me make this clear, the next time there is such an affront to justice and myself, or any other honorable Soylentil, I will demand satisfaction in blood. Or ouzo. Either way.
---------- Followed immediately by this:
We're sorry, your submission "Perché l’associazione ultra cattolica di Bannon vuole una scuola di sovranisti in Italia:" was declined for the following reason: Submissions must be in English - https://soylentnews.org/faq.pl?op=editorial. -- JR
Do you not realize, denizen of the Fairy Isles to the West, that to a Greek Italian is English? Americans are the problem. Monolingual troglodytes who Steve Bannon is going to bambozzle. ---------------------- Further followed by a newsworthy submission: https://soylentnews.org/submit.pl?op=viewsub&subid=33468 Rejected by takyon with the words:
_______ And I would be remiss if I did not profusely thank Azuma Hazuki for her invaluable service as a second in this affair. Without her, the matter would not have ended as amicably as it did. ありがとう、お姉さん.
Satisfaction obtained! Duel concluded. No fatalities.
