Latest review

First review round: 11.3 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The first time the AE comlpetely missed the novelties. then i was assigned a reviewer who hardly wrote in English and asked generic questions (e.g. I wonder if the two methods are different, of course they were) or would just not understand and ask for clarifications. In the three rounds of reviewing one referee never acknowledged I had answered his/er previous comments, but would just come up with new meaningless requests. I found it totally unethical to let a referee just argue for the sake of not making a paper published. The other referee said it was ok after the second review.
