But this is still very funny; if these writers aren't traumatized they should find it funny. Hope they do laugh.<br />The New Delta didn't mean to hurt anyone.

Not professional, not nice, not respectful, not less offensive because of this non-apology/non-excuse.<BR/><BR/>It's not a question of taking rejections too seriously. It's a matter of finding zero humor in a hurtful act.

Small literary magazine accidentally/sorta-kinda-on-purpose-cause-it's-so-funny sends out nasty rejection slip. Next scene: kinda-funny-but-not-really editor gets hit over the head with a kinda-funny-but-really-heavy typewriter by irrate writer. But who knows who the rejection slip was sent to, because it was so accidental/kinda-funny-but-we're just-graduate-students-so-we-don't-keep-track of-our-rejection-slips.

I guess he was in a meeting while the hilarity was ensuing in the office that afternoon? On a small, grad student-run publication, I wonder how big their "offices" are exactly... The size of a large broom closet perchance? Anyway, totally hilarious. If real. And even if not.<BR/><BR/>And kudos to WR for getting the story out so fast, it seems!
