Motivation: Quite disappointed with handling times. The second round of revision took three months while ending up with only one, short, review report. Communication with the editorial team was very poor (emailed them 3 times but they never replied).

Motivation: The handling editor stated that the review process was long (~5 months) because one reviewer could not do the review and he had to find another reviewer. Additionally, one reviewer had generally constructive comments, but felt the need to insult the authors. These comments should have been censored by the editor.
