Additionally, I have seen the transformation of Barr over the years. He did not 'flip-flop.' He had a genuine conversion.

But for the if "you failed to attend your state / national convention, you have no room to bitch" that is total BS. The national convention has room for how many people? The largest meeting room at the Sheraton in Denver (where the NC is taking place) only holds 3,700 people. Link. And the state ones hold even less, not to mention the cost it takes to go there and stay for the 4 days. It is not physically (let alone financially or logistically) possible for all or even a fraction of the members to go.

Sounds to me like the Libertarian Party isn't representive of any libertarian. Everyone is at pains to disavow allegiance to it.

I didn't disavow allegiance until they nominated Bob Barr, who believes the military shouldn't allow pagans to practice their religion on military posts and who authored the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which declared that states did not need to recognize legal same-sex marriages from other states.

But they do not provide enough room for everyone that wants to attend. 3,700 seats is not enough for everyone in the party. Unless you think that Libertarianism is that unpopular that it has less members than the KKK.

It isn't that libertarianism is unpopular. In fact, there are quite a lot of people who espouse libertarian ideals. It's that the Libertarian Party is not that popular because of people like you, the Democrats, the Republicans, and the media idiots who keep on telling them that only the Democrats and Republicans have a chance of winning or not voting for a Democrat or a Republican is to steal a vote from the Democrat or Republican or third parties aren't viable; it's that state laws make it much harder for parties other than Democrat and Republican to get on the ballot; it's that the media won't report other parties the way they report Democrats and Republicans. The system is intentionally rigged against other parties.
