The reviews of Straight White Men were overwhelmingly positive, the only truly negative reviews from substantial sources being Hilton Als and Terry Teachout. The reviews of Daddy are definitely more mixed but overall not negative or "very negative." Those are the examples. (I'll put Torch Song to bed.) So perhaps your premise on the two is flawed based on factual mistakes rather than on some pathological resistance (:-) ) to facts, and now that you can see the facts hopefully you can appreciate the issue I am/was having.

The argument that there is not a resistance to facts would only hold water if we hadn't already had at least one conversation in which the reviews of SWM were claimed to be negative and proven to be positive. That didn't change the argument then, and I doubt it will change the argument now. After all, if anyone wanted to check their memory of the reviews, they could quickly visit Show Score and confirm that SWM sits at 72/73 with critics and audiences, which in Show Score parlance means 4 stars.
