Anthony, I know nothing about “Kevin” or that site, but his casual “Nevermind the whole Free Rider Problem” comment is absurd coming from a supposedly libertarian site. There is a gigantic literature within libertarianism on the bogus nature of the “free rider” problem, but this fellow either knows nothing about it or doesn’t even think it’s worth mentioning. Instead, he just raises this totally conventional, statist bogeyman as if the very mention of “free riding” refuted our position at once. Such a critique of your article is all the vindication you need, if you ask me.
