Comment on: Conflicts about this Funding Cycle (July '06) (25)
Feedback score: 11 (* * * * * * * * * *)
Arthur, I appreciate your self-awareness and your willingness to share your inner conflict(s) publicly.
I think your approach to be as open and transparent about what you see as potential conflicts (be they real or not) is the better part of valor. If you feel uncomfortable giving anonymous positive (or negative) feedback, you may need to either give 5 points (thus, revealing your name) or none at all.
For context, when I think of times in the past when I've personally felt burned by what I thought a conflict of interest, it was always because of the lack of disclosure before I had to make a decision.
Since you're revealing your interests before voting decisions are made, I think you're greatly reducing the chance that someone would feel burned by a "surprise" conflict of interest.
