I'll make a short comment here and leave it at that.

No, I am not saying that praise of Sankara is at all taboo.
I respect Sankara deeply and find his works insightful.
However, please recognize that this list is dedicated to
the Sri Vaishnava tradition. I felt that mere praise of Sankara 
(and subsequent denigration of other Vaidikas, such as mImAmsakAs,
as "enemies from within"), without proper context, required a
response.
