Public and private sector science have historically been enmeshed by design.
Public sector medical research has been decimated in recent months, so adverse effects on products developed by private entities is an unfortunate byproduct of that.
- Teever 2y agoJust flag the 4 word comment that obviously wasn't made in good faith and move on.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoehh, I'll generally assume good faith until shown otherwise. I don't really flag something unless it shows active malice. In this case, it was a good opportunity to educate others who may also think that the private sector wouldn't be affected by these public sector cuts. That's much better than flagging a comment that may have been simply made in ignorance.
- Teever 2y agoa comment that consists entirely of x != y isn't made in good faith. It just isn't. You're right about using it as a chance to educate others though.

- rl3 2y agoKeep in mind flagging anything probably increases the chances that the entire submission is sent to purgatory (read: also flagged) via whatever flamewar detection mechanisms exist. Generally it should only be reserved for obviously egregious things, not mere perceived bad faith.
