In the querying process, am I the only one who gets irritated by curt rejections? I love personalized rejections, I am fine with form rejections (hey, at least they replied, right?), I can handle no response rejections, but lately I've gotten a couple query rejections that just seemed rude.
Stuff along the lines of "Not for us." and that's it. No "Dear author" or "Thanks for submitting" or whatever. Like literally three words in the entire email. Am I being overly sensitive, or would it be nicer to just not reply? I feel like it is the latter but maybe I'm getting worked up over nothing.
