I was totally crushed when my paper for the recent special issue of Functions of Language dedicated to her was rejected by reviewers, but did send a draft to her and let her know later on when it was published elsewhere (still with its dedication to her). She communed by relaying her concern that we were indeed living in difficult times – times reminding her in fact of the 60s… but now with different strata and institutional struggles now in play.

To be clear, here Martin accuses his original reviewers of rejecting his paper for political reasons, rather than because of the quality of the paper itself. For an example of a very poor paper by Martin that was initially rejected by reviewers but which he subsequently managed to get published in another journal, see the critical examination here.
Among the consequences of a siege mentality are black and white thinking, social conformity, and lack of trust, but also a preparedness for the worst and a strong sense of social cohesion.
