Former poet, former occasional Toronto Star columnist, former just about everything Kathy Shaidle--a wannabe who became a has-been with no intervening stage--takes on commenter "truewest" here. Her challenge:
Please elaborate on my “frequent factual errors” , oh anonymous coward truewest.
The floor is open.
To start things off, let me provide a few that I know about personally: she has publicly accused me of calling her a "Nazi." She has claimed (more than once) that Mark Steyn chastised me over the publication of an alleged photograph of speech-warrior Marc Lemire. I dealt with these and other inaccuracies here. And here. She never retracts: but, as she notes, journalistic ethics don't apply to her.
I was going to leave this bilious creature alone, henceforward: I really was, even though she has taken to following me around the blogosphere, sniping at me from other people's comboxes. After all, she's about to get married, and, besides, she has an increasing obsession with guns. But this is really too much. She wouldn't know a fact if it bit her on the arse, to be blunt. For people like this, accuracy is just a sign of weakness.
But for the rest of us, who like to get things right, let's put a list together. She's thrown down one gauntlet too many. Time for a reckoning.

Canadian Cynic and assorted commenters have skewered that egregious howler here. Heterosexual AIDS is a hoax, because a mischievous article in the Guardian says so.
(The article is so packed with straw persons that one wonders how the Brits will feed the horses come winter. The author
Oh, and Kathy? James Kirchick isn't a "Lefty reporter," either. Good grief, can't you get anything right?

After application the hair is simply dried, either naturally or using a drier.
Since these goods are made from plant extracts, seed oils and hair
only twice in a week. A well groomed woman will look to her hair and makeup first and a poll of 3,000 females across the UK revealed that about 44% feel attractive if they are having a good hair day, this compares to 16%
who felt pleased with their appearance if good teeth gave them that winning
smile.
