On most scientific issues, even if I turbo disagree with somebody, I still often continue liking them as a person. Sometimes even more so.

Often I wonder if other people feel this way too or if I'm going to lose friends/followers over some of the stuff I think about science.

It doesn't inherently bother me, as I guess that's life. But for most science things I don't care if we disagree.

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!
