i saw that and couldn't believe what was being said. used Pro-Shar for 2 years and marketed it as valken? Mr Gino won't be happy, nor will the Pro-Shar guys.

Thought I doubt, after what Robbo has said above, that they will have a good working relationship after the valken dispute has come to light.
Interesting that they are now a mills sponsor...

But there is a difference between advertising it as somethings its not, I.e. advertising pro shar as valken, or darksports as GI.

I am aware that there are few factories and the manufacturwrs are more 'brands'.
If he has gone behind valken direct to a supplier when he owes valken money is not cool.

The lengths barnett goes to when trying to portray that everything's OK is incredulous.
His paranoia is profoundly ingrained into his personality but that's not what's most disturbing about him.
I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist but I can diagnose a fuhkin nut-job when I see one.
I had an interesting conversation today with someone who was quite extensively involved with barnett over a few years.

He said that he fell out with barnett and immediately the public hate attacks started upon him but in an attempt to try and patch things up with barnett, he entered into a discussion with him.
It seems barnett had made up a lot of lies about him in these public attacks but when he tried to reason with barnett over these lies, he realised that barnett actually believed the lies he'd created.
It's one thing fabricating the lies but quite another to then believe them ....
This is truly delusional behaviour and not inconsistent with the remainder of his psychotic profile but it still comes as a shock to realise he's still continuing to function as a promoter in our sport albeit with the tacit support of a declining few of our industry figures.
I'm not quite sure how anyone can still deal with barnett on a professional basis but I suppose stranger things have happened, haven't they?

What's getting to me. Paint suppliers aside, also he is going to need air.

Surely at some point he has ripped off HPAC. Or would their services be included in the green fee?

From what I heard, I think Trevor form H-Pac asked for money up front [I wonder why :/] and that was paid last week sometime.
Paying people up-front is an unnecessary financial burden but you'd have to be some sort of mug dealing with barnett without demanding money up front - without sables' support, barnett would have been dead in the water which beggars the question, 'what is the nature of their relationship' ?.......
