No, but a personal anecdote about libertarianism as a political ideology is the sort of thing that breeds argument, but no debate.
EDIT: So I went ahead and looked up "debate" in a dictionary and it apparently doesn't mean "principled argument", I'm not sure what the word for that is, but basically a post like this generates a lot of noise but produces little to no signal.
And I say this as someone, like the author of your link, who sees great value in some of the free market ideas.
Don't forget that this applies to you as much as anyone else. None of the rebuttals presented by the author of the "faq" are that strong as far as I am concerned. You would say that is because I have irrational beliefs and I would say that it is because the author completely ignores (as far as I can tell) the corporatocracy that big government enables; uses empirical evidence of phenomena from a big government environment and instead of attributing these phenomena to that environment, uses them as evidence against libertarian philosophies; and in general uses arguments that aren't particularly compelling.
Now the truth is probably somewhere in the middle but I think it is important for you to at least acknowledge that your dismissal of other ideas or beliefs as lies can probably be attributed to bias as much as the converse. In which case, "stigmatizing such fervent belief in comforting (to the believer at least) lies as childish. " is not a very good idea.

I am not saying this is great, but personal anecdotes might work better...
As with chocolate cookies, not everything that feels pleasurable is good for you. And it certainly isn't good for our hapless readers who have to read through all the angry comments your blog post inspired.
Criticizing political ideologies isn't very productive (especially when its party has never won a seat in congress), but if you're going to do it, please follow this example: http://raikoth.net/libertarian.html.
The author addresses specific issues and injects a bit of humor into his responses. He uses statistics and facts instead of anecdotes. Most importantly, he doesn't strawman or condescend. That's the sort of writing that convinces people. The submitted post will most likely just annoy any libertarians who read it.
