Greetings, Seamus,
I'm glad you're back here at DPF. I've been impressed by much of your work and look forward to reading more.
And yes, you're absolutely correct about how disinformationalists will attempt A) to dignify their own work, and B) to taint Douglass (for different audiences, of course) by favorably comparing their trash to his masterpiece.

Cheers CD:
Its good to see I have finally made myself 'useful' in your eyes lol. Indeed your quote I used in Ventura summed up what I was thinking about that aspect of the show completely.
It was the unspeakable 'hijacking' event which transpired on here recently that alerted me to the fact I was still a member. Now after my unspeakably bad first impression I made on here I asked the unspeakable person in question to delete me from all memory and I got the di di mau:bolt:outta here. She kindly didn't and it wasn't until I wound up with an email telling me about the ongoing issues you all faced that I realised I had been on the books for an unspeakable amount of time.
What drew my attention DPFwards again was Magda's bullying me to join up (lol-I jest CD my arm is out of its cast now) the good moderation, your humour and the extremely rude smilies I have no doubt you are probably responsible for!
But most importantly it was an unspeakable researchers outright embarrassing comparisons to 'The Unspeakable' and his unspeakable attacks on yourself and Jim DiEugenio here and on others in many places that caught my imagination. You see the unspeakable isn't on Lancer where I reside with my good budy Al Doyle.
I'd said too Magda that I'd stay off of the books here because I feared I would join up and say some rather unspeakable things and probably get in trouble again lol.
But after seeing the unspeakable's constant dalliances with some dubiously sourced researchers I slipped my leash.
In particularly after I saw Jim Di mention that a number of younger researchers (of which I am one) find unspeakable an extremely bad one. Indeed in many ways the weakest link in JFK research. Now that really takes some beating as you've seen CD John Hankey is pretty near unspeakable himself.
I sought to add my voice in agreement as it was I who pointed this fact out to the unspeakable one via Martin Hay on Spartacus. It's extremely truthful that the next crop of researchers don't want a bar of unspeakables BS.
He is (sad to say CD) a burden for your generation to bare.
So to give the senior toilers here a bit of hope in amidst this sea of unspeakable shite:noblesteed:I nobley joined up to defend the honour of my elders and on the very day I signed up as fate had it Dawn had locked up the forum some hours before lol!
Maybe she had a premonition lol.
Anyhow, I shan't harp on about the unspeakable he is flogging a dead horse with his views and we are flogging one by mentioning his ways.
But Drago old son if but for the unspeakable :darthvader: I wouldn't have returned to your embrace lerv lol .
