Another important point to think about
@apsmunro is that formal channels to critique research take at least months, and can easily stretch to years. The challenge with the status quo is that it often results in no action even for obvious mistakesShow this thread -
If you don't believe me, check out
@MicrobiomDigest and her feed. Hundreds/thousands of papers with everything from mistakes to fraud, but rarely is any action takenShow this thread

Like most human interactions I would assume that it would come down to the manner in which one approaches the conversation. Mom was right; manners never go out of style.

I think a lot of what you do is good + helpful (critiquing papers and methodology issues) + not personal, ergo not unprofessional. However, if SoMe discussion turns from the paper to the authors + their potential motives/biases, I get uneasy (conjecture, diff follower count, etc)
