Yes, very interesting.  Piers Anthony has a couple of humorous stories about dealing with editors in his "Alien Plot" collection; you may be interested.

BTW, do you have contact info for the magazine?  I may try to sell them some of my stuff.  At the worst, I might get constructive criticism.

I just received a rejection letter with feedback on my submission from
"4 Star Stories," a fantasy and SF magazine. I found it interesting that I was told, "My writing was good, but the submission isn't what they typically publish. However, I'm not much of a fantasy person." Um, then how are you an editor for a fantasy publication, is my question.

Just thought others would get a chuckle out of this, grin.

Oh, BTW, when you say something is a favorite activity, is it "past-time," or "pass-time?"
