After reading the article I'd say that the problems were caused primarily by personal conflicts. Any problems with libertarian philosophy did not have a chance to surface because they were completely swamped by the dysfunction of town leaders.

They tried to have their cake and eat it too. I think that played no small part.
They incorporated as a town to save their way of life as an unincorporated community then got greedy and tried to to town things without a town budget.
