Indeed, I understand your reasoning, you talk about that in the podcast in the RFD. This is why I wasn't talking about the lack of feedback, but the lack of human interaction. While there is nothing constructive to be done about the disappointment of rejection, this part is very much in your power to change, and that's why I think it's constructive feedback and not just venting.

That said, the RFD does say this:

> Candidates may well respond to a rejection by asking for more specific feedback; to the degree that feedback can be constructive, it should be provided.

Even just replying with refusal to provide feedback would still be more humane and decent.
