theincrediblesok":sepqq8an said:Doug was just speaking his mind about the subject of branding, look at his twitter responses now, people are quick to jump. Someone posted a small article on his twitter that Doug meets with his social media marketing team to discuss how to brand himself, they also told him to stop getting into discussions that ends up in an arguement. That didn't stop him as that would make him seem fake, the robotic part was taken out of context by a lot of people when he probably meant that he didn't want to be unemotional in his tweets.
I've given this a lot of thought, and I think it is certainly possible that Baldwin was not taking a shot at any one individual specifically, despite the pointed language and harsh judgements he makes against "some" people. Baldwin has always had that kind of edge to him and even when he doesn't have a target like Cris Carter for example, perhaps he feels most natural by creating a target in those situations, the "some" in his tweets. Maybe that's just how he relates ideas. I could kind of buy that. Especially since there is no good reason for him to attack RW.
But even in this scenario, Baldwin is still ripping the idea of building a brand by appearances and "robotic" methods. I could definitely see RW reading those tweets and feel that even if they weren't directed at him, they were directed at his way of doing things. It would only be natural for him to be offended, and the timing and nature of Wilson's tweets are pretty hard to explain otherwise.
I'm willing to give Baldwin the benefit of the doubt. But I think that he should probably be a little bit more careful about how he delivers his messages. Even if it is a misunderstanding, it's possible his tweets could be the reason that RW was pissed off all the same. He's not being clever, he needs to learn how to explain a concept without putting people down in the process, or else it could create unfortunate misunderstandings.
