I said no to several things lately that required taking on external duties on voluntary basis while being away from home I got ... silence. no response at all I guess the expectation was I had to throw myself at these tasks selflessly (as women usually do) and it was unacceptable I said no?

Do we need to be told that our manuscript may be more suitable for a specialty journal? Are authors not experts enough to know where to submit next? I for one did this when I was AE in generalist journals, but have come to find this to be quite patronising over the years. What do people think?
