>Editor discretion (within the leeway described in the guidelines) is what makes ODP good and bad, depending on which side of the submission fence you're on.

Yep. ;) The guidelines have specific rules about what an editor can not use as a basis for rejection, such as commercial self-interest, or personal or political bias. However, if none of that is an issue, there is nothing in the guidelines that says the editor can't use discretion and just say "this site sucks".
