On most scientific issues, even if I turbo disagree with somebody, I still often continue liking them as a person. Sometimes even more so.
-
-
So long as the disagreement's about something that doesn't involve sexism racism some other bigotry, I generally like people just as much.
-
This doesn't excuse people being rude of course, but most people seem to be relatively civil with only a couple exceptions within science.
-
There have been cases I've received rude emails but often they get followed up by implicit or sometimes even explicit apologies.

-
Other times I get ridiculous walls of text which I never as a rule reply to... especially when "sorry" is a tiny little word.
-
On the whole, I treasure friends in science even if we really disagree on how to tackle a problem, what the problem even is, etc.
-
Also tangent, but I'm aware of people who follow me who pretty much only interact with me by faving tweets which disagree with me. Amusing.
-
So I suppose when I come out with a paper /preprint they turbo disagree with, they are unlikely to unfollow since obv already disagree!

Disagreement is not bad, I would be worried if we agreed on everything.
-
Yeah, esp on some things like what field is best... I mean obviously each person thinks their field is best. That's why they're in it!

-
The irony is that many world problems require that we find solutions in interdisciplinary and trans disciplinary way.
-
It doesn't help us to fight which field are the best.
-
I'm in an inter/trans discipline. It's tough.
-
That's why it's got so many qualifiers. Comp cog neurosci modelling. Exhausting.
