yeah. happened to me for the last two papers i published. the first time it
happened, i told the editors that the paper the reviewer wanted me to cite
would add nothing. their response left me in no doubt that the paper would
not be published if i didn't include the reference - so i gave in. i didn't
even argue the second time around. both times the paper asked to included
were written by the reviewers.
i don't have much respect for the academic publishing process since then.
