There's a pretty famous story about Jim Gates about a very fucked up peer review situation. I think it's discussed briefly in an easy-to-find interview somewhere on the internets. It's definitely in the really, really really long book about the Black experience at MIT, which is basically just a compilation of biographies/interviews.
We ran into trouble with our paper because our referee turned out to be the guy who invented the model we were taking apart. It seems like that's not necessarily peer reviewing in good faith ...
