"In any dispute the intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the issues at stake." -- "That is why academic politics are so bitter."
The inverse is presumably true, i.e. the greater the stake, the smaller the egos for those involved.
This pretty much explains how Buddhism deals with ego. i.e. 發大願....
I conjecture it is impossible to remove one's ego while focusing on petty issues.
