I've read both articles. From the tone, the authors seem to be complaining that they were rejected, so instead of fixing up their research, they complain that other reject them. This isn't uncommon. As I haven't reviewed the papers that were rejected, I don't know if the authors of the articles you cited were justified.

Shoddy research is the third most common reason for rejection, ranking behind bad spelling and bad grammar.

Er, the second article was about a symposium, lectures, books and such - not someone who had been rejected by a refereed journal. And the first article was by one who was not rejected by a refereed journal but speaks generally about work which was rejected by a variety of scientists over the years, some of them Nobel scientists.
