Ugh no, not these topics again.

Yes,i know you dont have arguments and try to avoid the painful subject,a subject that shatter allot of pre-conceptions.
Regarding Shankara,it was not about Shankata denying the concept of Atman,it was about Shankara defining Atman more like Buddhistic Non-Atman and unlike Atman as defined in Upanishads.
Simply said ,Shankara tried to merge all major hindu systems(including bauddha) in to one,not always whit coherence.This unifying project lead to a double-definition of Atman.
In more trivial aspects,he copied buddhistic style,like shaven head and beard and wearing the red garment,like buddhist monks.And unlike hindu philosophers that had beard and long hair,not to mention the red garment problem.
