Why do I suspect foul play at work here somewhere, like that one of my competitors is the editor of the category?
If that is the case, then the editor will be removed. Please provide the evidence

How can he? He's not privy to who the editor is.

"Really bad move. Everytime you have resubmitted, you have just overwritten the previous submission with the new date and moved your site to the back of the pile."

At the bottom of the dmoz category you will find a date when that particular category was last edited. If that date is after your submission, and considering that they're never going to tell you if your submission has been disapproved, and also considering that its largely known that submissions to this ridiculous directory have been a black hole for year, I would submit to a different appropriate category and hope for the best.
