I would like to see others rejections from MAR.I wonder if they say the same damn thing. 0.00 exception rate is a long shut to the moon.
"However, we are thankful for the time we have had with this submission."
My advice to this editor: just reject the story, don't insult the writer's intelligence. You weren't borrowing the story to enjoy precious moments with it (taking it for walks, showing it off to your friends?). You simply took a long time to respond to the writer. You apologize for your tardiness. That's good, but then you ruin it with a patronizing dissimulation.
damn! phyicalpaths. they make thin after a long wait that you had a chance!
