Work hard, write paper, and cry...

Hello folks!
It has quite some time since write anything here. Well, that's a sign of how busy I have been lately. After the summer, we start working in two research papers, that we ended up submitting by the end of November. Now after almost two months the report of the referee comes back and it came with a sour, bitter taste! The referee just kicked our asses into the street, stripped us naked and dragged through an old road with our feet tied up to a pickup truck. Well, sort of!
This is what happens when you try to enter in a mainstream research field and you dare to present new ideas. At least that is what my adviser said. I think that we probably didn't cite any of the referee's work and he didn't like it. Who knows, right?
The main problem is that the referee was too emotive in the report and didn't criticize the core of the paper, he just bashed the concept that we are trying to introduce. Now we have to figure out a way of putting our words in a more clear way. If at least my adviser could help me on this! NOT!!!!
