Conference Reviewers

I am doing my PhD, so, I need to publish articles. The process is to send the article, reviewers comment on it, and your article might be or not accepted. Unfortunately they do not sign the review comments, what is very bad.

Here are two examples.

One article about a slang dictionary. It includes technical details of how it is maintained, and some examples of a DSL to handle the data. As it is a slang dictionary, examples include slang. The comment from the reviewer: this paper could not be accepted because it uses slang.

Good, huh?

Ok, this one is from about two weeks ago. I propose a system (ok, I trust it is not the best article I've wrote, and the system is not so good, but) which is open-source. In the article I stress the importance of having the source available, and I say there are no other systems open-source. The reviewer says I miss comparison with a paid system. During all the review stresses that specific system, not any other. In the middle of the review he says that he sees no importance on having the source available. Let me know if I am thinking wrong, but... he might be one of the developers of that system and don't want others to interfere?
