> "Work” and “University” are so wildly different as institutions that to use them this way makes it perfectly clear how little merit your point has.

I disagree. Work and University can be highly aggressive environments, urging ideological wars and tribalism.

> It’s an empty character attack - possibly a reflection of your own -

Well, this got personal very quickly.

Ideological wars are everywhere, especially if you are willing to make them up.

Any collaborative effort will involve politics, and by politics I mean the actual definition. Per Wikipedia:

> set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of status or resources.

It's important to recognize this, because the option is becoming an hermit or just accepting fully what others decide for you.

		I know this, I've experienced this. There is not a concrete source for what I'm saying here. I remember reading the article about a nudist family photographer. The English Wikipedia article was highlighting the controversy about child pornography that came with it, almost trying to demonize the guy, while the German article was actually trying to go beyond and develop the article. There are enormous discrepancies on that website. Wikipedia has some bizarre articles and rules. I can only provide some pieces and bits of anecdotes.
