Uh, academic publishing is "broken" because... people didn't just publish whatever he sent them without reviewing or editing it? What the hell? What is his complaint, besides that he seems to have no idea how publishing or much of anything else works?
People reviewed his stuff; even those who declined it offered him suggestions, connections, help -- he got free help all over the place, eventually published an oddly-sized very specific thing and academic publishing is "broken?"
What?
