WoW that's something new for me.
However I'm quite agreeging with Steven. I was fed up when for the first time I submitted (let's not mention where) an article (this one http://www.gplivna.eu/papers/using_analytic_functions_in_reports.htm ) and got following response:
"The article is a little too political in nature. If the political slant was removed and the political example replaced with another example[..]"
when I asked what is too political I've got following answer: "Please change the example on citizenship. The other was point #3 in the summary - divide and conquer - which could be ok if the citizenship example was replaced."

Bang!
After a thinking a while I gave up and put it on my site. Without any changes of too political examples of course. I probably didn't get a row in my CV, but I got very nice feeling on my own that I'm not part of too much stupid PC.
