I think you will find in life that the people that can dish it out the best are the same who can't take it themselves. I think a lot of times it's a defense mechanism. Jesse Ventura was the same way - he can talk a great game but if there is any criticism directed at him he becomes the most thin-skinned person I have ever seen.
We can gather from this tirade from Dan Barreiro that:
1 - Either he or somebody close to him reads the Gopherhole
2 - He is angry at some of the comments that people make on here
3 - I am not sure which posts in particular upset him, but those aren't the guys I would be venting against.
I am surprised that any of the stuff on here affects him very much, but he is pretty thin-skinned. If he does read the posts on here, he could probably learn a lot regarding Gopher sports and he could learn a lot about what people think of him and his radio station. Instead, I think it will probably make him more obstinate than ever and I fully expect him to continue to vent against the Gopher nation.
