Not really. I have to agree with Ask on the link's usefulness. The author is stacking the deck against SPF by throwing out a lot of arguments, as if they were _all_ equally valid in _all_ cases. If there are any gems hidden there in the large amount of vitriol that the author is spewing, it is very hard to find them. It is not a technical discussion, but an emotional (if not spittle-mediated) argument.
Perhaps you'd care to post a rebuttal.
The problem with rebuttal is that you usually spend a lot of time arguing with the individual over semantics rather than discussing the actual topic. None of the things the author cites are particularly new (if you've been following the discussion), so a point by point rebuttal serves no purpose (since many of the subjects have been argued at length before).
