On your comment -

What I really wanted to highlight was his refusal to consider the question till an appropriate time. For example, you don''t think whether you should swim or not once you dive into the water; whether to write an exam or not in the exam hall etc. "Some things you have to question: other things you have to not question. You have to just put your head down and work." You can think if you want to swim or write the exam after the event; during the event you do your best. For him, he doesn''t want to consider the question in the middle of the season. He will consider it only at the end of the season. I think, it simplifies a lot of complications in life, and frees the mind, if we develop a method to know what questions to consider and what to ignore. :)

On second thoughts, LL. I feel I must apologise for my outburst. Actually, last night my wife snubbed me saying I am a selfish guy. In frustration I came here and said all that. Actually, I have had a disturbed childhood and been troubled by its painful memories. A father who would return late at night, totally drunk, from God knows where and a frustrated mom who would take it out all on us. As a result, I developed this attitude towards women in general. So I guess when I see you so strongly and wisely demolishing the opponents, the complexities within me rise up and I start feeling uncomfortable. The fact is that being a person with many complexes, I am scared to face myself bluntly and therefore prefer to hide behind anonymous masks. At times I simply hate myself for such cowardly acts. Thanks for making me realise the serious deficiencies within me.

8. She might be a revolutionary thinker but her blindness to her own flaws makes her ideas impotent. In the age of free thinking, she wants to demolish dissent. And no one needs to study Psychology 101 to know that anyone behaving this way is insecure in her own position.

If LL wants you to accept her words without a valid reason, you can put to test what I say and then only accept it.

How to test : On any topic, not for the sake of a debate, but where you wholeheartedly disagree with LL's views, try a debate against her. She will use all the tricks in her bag to demolish you, sadly she should only be demolishing your argument and not you.
If you agree with her, you get rewarded. If you don't, you get punished. What kind of teacher is that?

*Why believe me? Read LL's arguments and visit the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy and see for yourself.
At the bottom of the page are links to what I added above.

LL's argument style
I have been watching how LL behaves on iland for the past 3 months and here I present LL's style.

1. Her posts contain radical ideas touching many contemporary topics.
2. She says she is always open to debates.
3. And people wholeheartedly join these.

But

4. She does not know how to debate fairly.
5. In the middle of a debate, if anyone says that she is a teacher and has a reputation in the non-virtual world, does that mean her logic is correct? - *An appeal to authority
6. In a debate, no one starts name calling and character analysis. That is totally out of scope of the debate, but this is exactly what she does. The proper way is to oppose (not ridicule) the argument and not the speaker - *An ad hominem argument
7. She or her supporters (in the debate) are ready to introduce different topics in her debates but she will totally forbid her opponents to do the same, ridiculing their mental age comparing it to a child - *An ad hominem argument

Jolly, this has been with me since more than two and half decades...found it describing myself so well..:))) <br><br>
“For in me there have always been two fools, among others, one asking nothing better than to stay where he is and the other imagining that life must be slightly less horrible a little further on. So that I was never disappointed, so to speak, whatever I did, in this domain.”-- Samuel Beckett in ‘Molloy’.
