Do you have a black list of names? I knew a journal black-listed some reviewers who never did their duty on time or worse, never returned their reviews. Well, I am putting one author on my black list of names that I will not deal with. I edited his manuscript once, which was a pain in the neck because he came from a country where English is one of the official languages. So, in that sense he is a native speaker, and I am NOT. When the manuscript was sent back to me for another round of editing by his adviser, I refused: What is the point to edit it again when many of my editing suggestions were rejected. Let's not waste your money and my precious time! Now, the paper is accepted, and the adviser asked me to edit it one more time. What a PAIN! So many careless mistakes and typos. Some sentences make no bloody sense! I wish I could say NO to this client (the adviser), but he is also a friend of mine. God, where are you? Please give me strength to finish this painful job!
