I've seen this site. It's in the praxeology reading list, but only because it puts together many hackneyed, idiotic pieces making it all the easier to refute them for those willing to.

Amateur hour. I like how he makes up debate between libertarians to be some kind of civil strife that will tear the movement asunder.

Most of those AE criticisms are made up by austrians themselves!!! And the guy who made that site says that the best economic theory is the one that predicts more accurately. He wants forecasters and clairvoyants, not economists.

If we dont' disagree, we're a "cult". If we do, we're doomed! Or, we're a schismatic cult. You can't win with this kind of "logic".
