I'm not exactly sure what Jetse's official title at Interzone was, but to me he is their Slush Master, rejecting my stories with nice notes and apologies :-)
Anyway, he's resigning:
After four-and-a-half years, I am resigning as an Interzone co-editor. I do not take this decision lightly, but it is what I feel I must do. The reason is simple: like a rock band where one musician quits because she/he doesn't like the musical direction the band is taking (the well-known 'musical differences'), I am unhappy with the direction and tone the fiction in Interzone will be taking.
Hmm, I wonder what that direction is? Anyone know? Is it subtle or huge?

The Andy Cox and the Interzone team respond:
We are, however, a little perplexed at the idea that Jetse's departure has been caused by a change in Interzone's "direction and tone". No such change was identified or discussed at any time within the team. The three remaining fiction editors do not feel there has been any shift in our editorial process, quality standards, ethics or strategy.
