The journal that published Sokal didn't use peer review and they rejected him at first, then requested a bunch of changes that he refused. They published him because they were collecting articles dealing with the "science wars" between scientists and the humanities and he was one of only two scientists to submit papers for it.
It's less of a big deal than everyone makes it out to be.
The more I read about the Sokal affair the more I hate everyone involved honestly.
