If you mean George Bishop aka "Paul Bishop" aka  "Deacon" and/or his sidekick Richard Evans  then my thoughts are they probably recently got what they deserved from the justice system - more info here:

 More Info on Bishop aka the "Deacon"

More Info on his sidekick "Richard Evans"

If you are referring to a certain webmaster from another country who apparently recently had contact with you and who publicly stated that these individuals did "falsely" accuse you of various negative behaviors and that he like many others was "taken-in" by these nefarious scoundrels, I don't understand your statement a "witch hunt" instigated by this individual.

If this is not the person that you were referring to then I don't know what your reference is!

From what I can see if he is the webmaster you are referring to he took the time to carefully attempt to investigate the activities of the above named associated individuals before using their names in any of his threads and was in your case quite forward about your innocence in certain matters and I quote:

"Approximately this time last year there was a "panic" here about a major allegation that Robert Bryce was about to out a kid to his family. This was caused entirely by the deceiving person's lies. Robert wrote to me at the time, and I am sure I also stated at the time, that he had nothing whatsoever to do with the matter.

Though Rob and I have major differences I know him to be a decent and honourable man. There never was anything to link him to the alleged "potential outing", nor will there ever be. He is innocent of all such allegations. Things in his personal history make such an action totally abhorrent to him. He could not do it.

I am aware that, by mentioning it again, some of this mud will stick to Rob. I would ask that it does not stick.

I am posting it because I have been emailing Rob about this matter. He has asked me to post a full statement that he is innocent of the allegations. At the time they worried him and hurt him greatly. Interestingly his fears were allayed by the author of the allegations contacting Rob to "find out if he was behind them".

Recently I also was accused of "outing" teens.along with various other types of behavior that my accusers thought to be malicious. One of the individuals accusing me of these outings amongst other negative acts stated that I was talking to two people online about it apparently admitting to this behavior and thats how it got back to them.  Although only those who made the intial accusations know where these false charges came from I would be surprised if it were any other then the "Deacon" and his buddy Richard Evans.

At the same time "Deacon" was emailing me in an attempt to ingratiate himself with me and also gain my trust informing me that his mission was an attempt to end the flame war he was in fact writing posts such as this on another board(s).

"Ed is most definetley NOT getting a pass from me or my peers. My good friend ------, (-----)(names edited out by me) is enraged about the absolutely  inappropriate, insensitive, deceitful, and what is ------ & ----- (names edited out by me) favorite way of describing Ed's actions........hmm. Oh yeah! "Fucked UP!" And it's not just -----(name edited out by me) either, it's quite a few of us.

Ed will not get a free pass on this crap, not this time. I have no idea what happened to the Ed I first met years ago, but this Ed?  No excuses or apologies can mend the damage. (And quite frankly, I really do not see this as taking "sides."0 I see this as just plain WRONG. The others and I have begun the process of formally complaining, shunning, banning, and taking whatever action we deem necessary to get Ed to delete ALL of that unmitigated feces, and back the hell off. We are doing this quietly, steadily, and I hope to Pearl Harbor Ed's ugly butt."

When I emailed "Deacon" about the above post I received the following in his reply:

Yes, Ed I did say Pearl Harbor your butt as at that moment in history I was pissed, but not so much at you I think as I was pissed that once again, Robert managed to carry out and wage a campaign of hatred that got the ball rolling.

Ed, look, the kids are just that, kids. You have been around long enough to know that eventually things will die out. BUT, and I am still astonished by this, ALL of you guys managed to really whip yourselves up into an incredible frenzy. Jesus, it's been a while since I have seen a flame war like this. The last really good one was over the Driver9 story that set that one off.

You may be insulted by my methods Ed, but trust me, I am alot more reasonable and forward seeing than persons give me credit for. There is only ONE thing on my agenda, and that is putting a stop to Robert Bryce's nonsense.

As it turns out apparently "Deacon" was the instigator in numerous flame wars playing one side against the other.  I did not realize the extent of his involvement at the time but realized that he was anything but trustworthy when he was emailing me saying one thing and posting on other boards content similar to the above.

As this webmaster from another country publicly stated about you Rob;

"Though Rob and I have major differences I know him to be a decent and honourable man. There never was anything to link him to the alleged "potential outing", nor will there ever be. He is innocent of all such allegations. Things in his personal history make such an action totally abhorrent to him. He could not do it."

I also could NEVER out another individual whether teen or adult.  I HAVE NEVER OUTED ANYONE OTHER THEN MYSELF and as with you there was NEVER any real  "EVIDENCE" linking me to these horrible charges of outing and/or attempting to out certain unknown (to me) teens for there is none,  just the information apparently passed on to others by who I now believe to be  "deacon" and his associate claiming that they had been informed of my guilt or that I had bragged directly to them about doing said deeds.   Furthermore the "deacon" in emails to me was blaming you for the entire affair and I quote the "Deacon":

"Well, guess you're still furious at them, kinda shows. Given enough time, possibly the proof will be there to expose Robert once and for all and then maybe some ofthe damage can be undone."

Why Deacon and associates choose to manipulate various people and turn friend against friend I truly do not understand . Unfortunately they were all too successful in their endeavors.  I shall continue to be me and I know in my heart I was not guilty of what I was accused of although in the past I may have allowed my anger to rule more then it should in defending myself against false charges, I have never intentionally tried to cause real HARM to any other individuals especially teens and If my words in my attempt to defend myself against charges that I knew to be false and personally found abhorrent, hurt anyone especially any youngsters, then I'll take this opportunity to apologize for that. 

NOTE:  To any who were involved in the flame war mentioned above - I was reluctant to post this thread in that it is not my intention to reignite nor inflame what occurred in the past.  I just recently became aware of the manipulation caused by the "deacon"..  Whether he is in fact the one that caused false charges to be brought against me I have no proof just an abundance of information that has convinced me that he is in fact guilty. 

Please even if you should continue to believe I am guilty - do not reignite the old flame war for I won't allow it here - any attacks will simply be removed - and that goes for you also Rob - Do not use any of this to continue any angry attacks on others - it solves nothing - and encourages manipulators such as the deacon and his cohorts.
