Originally an R&R with positive reviewer comments. After one round of revision, a referee wanted a few additional changes (largely based on new concerns), and Ergo decided to reject outright because, so they claim, they don't do multiple rounds of revision for some unfathomable reason. Authors can't do anything to prevent reviewers from raising additional concerns post-revision, and Ergo has apparently decided that this should absolutely preclude authors from publishing, after they have poured *hours* into revising and responding carefully to referee comments? Very frustrating.
