To be fair, editors have a right to set the boundaries for article acceptance. Would be useful to know the specific claims/objections

You are looking at the entirely of the email. So that's as specific as it got.

That seems rather unfair. Clearly didn't go to peer review. Editor should detail criticism so authors can revise or consider other journals

You are have a way too rosy picture of science about matters left-wingers don't like. :)

Never been accused of having a rosy outlook before. You CAN be a leftist AND believe in clear argumentation, thoughtful discussion and data

Of course you can. :) I meant that your view of scientific progress for ideas left-wingers (most scientists) dislike is too optimistic.

Might want to redact the URLs? Also, I hope you made sure to fill out the "survey on your experience with Frontiers Collaborative Review" ;)

The urls of not of any use I take it.
