I personally wouldn't be bragging that I turned someone away for their poor writing skill by using an excerpt from a rejection email that includes a comma splice. Real hypocritical. I can only imagine that the publication he referees has the reading level of your average YouTube comments section. Or maybe "getting things done" drunk, like coding drunk, also doesn't work for the author -- but being drunk, he believes it does.
