Responding on an _individual_ basis may be more trouble than it's worth, but when "hit job posts" get made several times a year saying more or less the same thing, it stands to reason that the FSF should put up some sort of rebuttal instead of pretending they don't exist.

> because the authors are generally unwilling to be convinced of anything

... this cuts both ways; the FSF has demonstrated time and time again they're utterly unwilling to be convinced of anything.

A good example of this is the FSF's "Respect Your Freedom" program, which has been actively harmful to hardware liberation efforts.
