Consider this a rare foray into the world of journalism biz service journalism for us. Over at The Black Table, Jason Notte, one of that site's "Black List' contributors, has a pretty good suggestion for editors who send out rejection letters to writers:

A hint to all editors out there: If you're going to have brass ones big enough to turn down someone's work, you'd best bring the skills to back it up. For example: If you're sending out form emails with sentences like this: "we wish you the best of luck in place it elsewhere" (from the text of an actual letter), you're just daring the recipient to send a snide, condescending response or obscenity-laden tirade.


We're actually surprised editors bother to send out—or have their assistants send out—rejection letters. It's rather quaint, when you think about it.

Notte has one more delicate suggestion that doesn't involve exactly where said editors can shove said letters: "DO SOME ACTUAL EDITING. And while you've got the Webster's handy, look up 'fucktard' and see if it adequately describes you."
