Motivation:
It took too long period for review process. Additionally, one of the reviewers did not provide specific comments, but merely gave some general opinions, which even implied discrimination against our case selection. We guess he/she filled with disdain for cases in developing countries.

Motivation:
Two positive reviews, suggesting minor revisions, one positive review that suggested a reframing, and one off-the-charts sarcastic, unpleasant, reviewer who hated the paper and accused it of numerous misunderstandings, while himself clearly lacking basic knowledge of the field. Maybe the editors received the poor review first, then kindly sent it on to the other more positive reviewers - but honestly, that was one of the least helpful and nastiest reviews I have ever received and I would hope nobody else ever had to experience it.
