I don't think this definition supports your claims.

Did RRPE "prevent or prohibit" anyone to publish a paper. No. RRPE declines to 
publish many papers, but this is not suppression. There are many other 
publishing outlets: RRPE has never tried to stop anyone from publishing a 
paper in a different journal as far as I know. Even if RRPE decided never to 
publish anything written by, say, Milton Friedman, this would not constitute 
suppression as RRPE would not stop Milton from publishing somewhere else.

How exactly does RRPE "prevent or prohibit" anyone from publishing their work 
in another journal?
