The point?
I'm not sure what the specific point here is. Could this go in the existing topics? If not what is different about it?
I think you need to make it clearer if you intend to stick to a topic. Is your point to discuss the source of the designer as the title suggests?
I think it'll be a short one if we hold it to that.

question and topic
Now your main thrust doesn't seem to match the topic title.
We are talking about complexity not the designer's designer.

A short break
I think you've had enough time.
Now it is time for a short (a day or so?) break from posting to this forum.

Getting back
DS may be able to get back to you later today or tomorrow. He's taking a break to think about how to respond more appropriately. I hope you don't mind the interruption.

Welcome DS back
I don't see any sign that DarkStar has tried to change. But this suspension was just a warning.
DS, you will have to support what you say rather than repeating assertions. You will have to respect the others here.
Your next suspention will cover all the major topics and be a bit longer.

Keep playing anoying games.
If you keep up the little games you won't be playing anymore. And don't whine about being called names that describe your behaviour. Your "contributions", in annoying colors aren't all that valuable.

Re: Scientist vs. Scientist
Whenever data is subject to interpretation, any interpretation can be considered valid if no law of science is violated.
Since it is clear that this is an utterly useless way to make any progress at all we need to recognize that some interpretations (out of all those that don't violate fundamental laws) are more likely to be useful, productive or valid than others.
How would you suggest selecting those that are more likely to be useful and meaningful?

Another break
That was your last post for awhile.
I have left you with rights in Suggestions and Questions and the FFA.
You have not been responding in a manner conducive to good debating. A large number of resonable requests have been made to you and you show no signs of being willing to pay attention.
{Added by edit footnote - To DarkStar: This seems to be a good place to ask you the question "Why do you go through the extra trouble to add extra formatting to your messages, such that they are more dificult to read?" Might I suggest to adopt the standard format. No reply needed. - Adminnemooseus}

But...
...so my own experience is more than sufficient to confirm my statement.
But not enough to convince anyone else.
However, DS, this is not an example of anything that should need backing up. It is not directly germane to the discussion. In this case you might have to take the word of someone who has actually been through such courses. Picking up silly nits like this is an example of annoying behaviour and something which just shows you have very limited experience with this and so many other things.

Link Wars
Ok, both of you. Link wars aren't what this is about.
How about you each take one of the 29 and the rebutal and discuss that. That'll give you each a choice of one you like most and will supply lots of stuff to discuss for endless posts I'm sure.

more specific
You list the kind of 17 flaws that are supposedly found in the Camp rebutal to the 29 evidences. It would be appropriate to show in detail how one particular rebutal is specifically flawed. Then do the same with which ever point of the 29 that DS takes.
When that is done you can move on to two more.

Done then
I guess the whole, somewhat (or a lot )off topic, issue of the 29 examples is finished then. That's too bad.

Manners!
You will refrain from saying someone is lying. Especially in a case where they clearly are not.
You are somewhat confused on what you are asking for. And you are mudding up topics with your rants. You will take a break to reconsider what you are actually asking for and then pick the right place to post. I'll be back in about 24 hours to let you try again.
You have access to the suggestions and Free for all forum.
