I learn more from you, Adam, than I do from people saying 'you're so right!' all day. But what I'm saying is this: are your BUYERS interested in reading your disagreement posts, or do they want to learn what you're going to do for them. See the difference? That was the thrust of the blog post. Just to be clear, I don’t care if people disagree with me. I welcome it. I learn more from you, Adam, than I do from people saying ‘you’re so right!’ all day.

I think his intention was more "tearing others down is mean and doesn't look good" than "protect myself from criticism". Brogan's point, to me, seems to express a worldview of a happy social online environment where brands are friendly, listening, open to ideas, giving and infinitely helpful. Not bad ideas by any stretch, but it takes a lot of care, leadership and even iconoclasm to sort through all that you hear and turn it into visionary strategies -- or even strategies that simply stand out.

I am certainly of the belief that if you want to build your 'dynasty' you must be willing to step out of your comfort zones and, whilst also stepping into others and disrupting them.

We're unafraid to say what we feel, analyze, criticize and comment - and that's one of the main reasons why the web is such a compelling communications medium. Businesses fail to see the raw nature of our conversations, which is why so much of their content marketing fails. There's just no edge or personality to it.
