John basically told me that my changes were great, and he agonized over his decision. Ultimately, my line-level prose wasn't singing to him, and he didn't have the time to give me and this manuscript what it deserved. Overall, I gained a lot from this exchange. The R&R and feedback were worth it, and he was very kind throughout it all.
Good luck to everyone else!
