Seamus has repeatedly spelled the surname of the author of JFK and the Unspeakable as "Douglas."
This error by Seamus is consistent with his all-too-frequent butcherings of what I assume is his native language. The comparison which I inferred too was prompted by my painful familiarity with his prolific bouts of poor reasoning and resorts to non-sequitur.
(For a classic example of the former, please note how Seamus, with typical "insight," concludes that I somewhere placed "Janney and Douglas ... on a par with say Lisa and Jim[.]" This is utter nonsense of the sort to be expected from a self-styled erudite researcher who makes use of the term "peeps" in an ostensibly serious academic inquiry and who writes "colonel" when he means "kernel.")
In literary life, as in every other aspect of existence, one reaps what one sows.
To conclude on a note of agreement, I do share your evaluation of Gregory Douglas.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
