Opus Finale .... A Warts an' all Exposé of Paintball's Very Own Megalomaniac

[Dusty]

At the end of the day as @Robbo has said Tim can reply on either of the FB posts or start his own one. For me when ever something is said that Tim can prove wrong he is all over it with a long post refuting details! These events are brought up and suddenly he doesn't do internet haters again!

If he could disprove these events his own ego would compel him too! He wouldn't be able to hold off rubbing peoples noses in it and vindicating himself. Instead he's throwing out events notices and sponsorship posts and trying to brush this off.

This is absolutely true, he's trying to kid joe public that all is fine, everything is ok, nothing to worry about. That said, in my experience, when people start pimping themselves and advertising at every turn it usually means they are struggling, otherwise they wouldn't need to advertise. Look at Planet, you don't see them on here or facebook plastering themselves about literally every day of the week because they just don't need to.

In what way are they struggling? Sorry for the thick questions, trying to get a handle on the effect these revelations are having. I looked back at the big hoo hah from the charity crap they pulled and everyone was signalling the end of him but all this time down the line he's still making UK paintball stink funny.

I haven't explained myself very well.

If he's plastering his name everywhere, he's trying to attract as many customers as possible. I mean, the guy is all over facebook, advertising right below where his entire dodgy dealings are being laid bare for all to see on some pages. Do you see Planet advertising every, single, day?? No because they don't need to. people go to them regardless.

He hadn't paid his paint bill of 20 grand to Simon Cole as it was being paid in installments,small ones at that even though he'd sold it all and taken the money for it presumably making a profit as well. He owed Wendy a grand for the rights to the southern masters which to my knowledge still hasn't been paid.

The number of people attending his events is slowly dropping too, he is slowly alienating more and more players and it's hit a point where that's starting to show

It's starting to settle...hurrah..soon folks...soon

That's probably why he is pushing to tourneys. He could have set his own up but chose to move into an existing one.

The biggest problem when poison enters the drinking supply is trying to separate it again...

One interesting thing I have noticed is that he does seem to like to make a song and dance about events selling out but it seems the player caps are often quite low.

I've heard talk about attendances also being a fraction of what SL claim, I'm not sure of the validity of such claims though.

Rumour was he was giving tickets to mates and sponsored teams to bulk up the numbers.

barnett is unable to rebut any of the testimonial evidence thus far posted simply because he cannot.

He knows full well he said or did these things people speak of and so he's hog-tied, he's fukd, up the river with no paddles.
His head must be close to going pop.
Shame

Talk of him taking a sabbatical is transparent enough, even his letter to the UKPSF is an attempted distraction to what's going on here.

He has lost everything now, he has little to no integrity or industry gravitas; he hopes he will salvage something from this disaster but his own actions have sentenced him to a dwindling degree of influence that he will seek to offset by handing out so-called sponsorship deals that amount to little more than cheap-ass discounts.

Our sport deserves better than him, the irony is, the very people he has abused and threatened are the very people we should look to for our rec-scenario scene.

The likes of Jimmy Frensham and Tim Taylor of Warped Sports - Ged Green - Ronnie Hollington of Mayhem - Ledzy - these guys are the trusted guardians of our sport.
I've known most of these guys for well over 20 years and I swear they have the best interests of our sport and player at heart.

I can personally vouch for each and every one of those guys when it comes to giving you bang for your buck, delivering what they promise and absolutely no fear of shafting anyone least of all their paying customer.

barnett's sole reason for being in paintball is to squeeze as much money out of the players as he can, he has no care for anyone but himself and his wallet.
He is a charlatan, a con-man, an as$hole and a disgrace to our sport and industry.
We need to move on from him, to discard him into the paintball dead-box and look toward a better future for our sport, both rec and tourney.
This may sound a bit corny and cliched but it's a fair description.

If we entrust our paintball future into the guys just mentioned above then we are in safe hands, I give you my absolute word on that.
Continue any association with barnett and he will either fuhk you over or taint your name or company with yet another disgraceful act or threat.
It's time our sport invested in some Ex-Lax to flush this crap from our system and send him back from whence he came.
Come to think of it, I'll pay for and administer it, just for the pleasure of watching him metaphorically spiral down the bog-pan.
It's sewer time !!!!!
