When they tell me my essay has potential and encourage me to submit it for another round of peer review they do actually mean that it didn't suck balls and that if I were to follow their revisions they might print it, right? Not 'go away you're terrible don't bother us anymore', right? Right...?

Oh god I don't know.

In my experience, I've noticed that academic/publishing types don't waste their time lying nicely to people. If they thought your paper sucked balls, believe me, they would have said so. A lot.

Do the revisions and give it another go.

You're in academia, land of the socially-challenged. If they think your work sucks balls, they'll tell you that to your face.

In other words, time to start your rewrite! You've got something potentially publishable there.

Edit the paper, it's got potential.
