Counterpoints:
1: Caliborn hates Calliope so it makes sense that he would want to destroy anything related to her, IE Space. Plus, a Muse of Space doesn't destroy space, jeez. Secondly, he likes rules but destroying stuff isn't against any rules. He isn't actually very good at strategy since he lost to Calliope so much. He only one ONE time and that was due to a stupid trick.
2: Who the fuck knows how Gamzee got that laptop, or how Calliope got it? It's probably some crazy time shit, like how Ahab's Crosshairs keeps showing up everywhere. Besides, Calliope NEVER EVEN USED IT. The Prospit connection is tenuous at best since we don't even know the significance of being a Prospit dreamer vs a Derse dreamer. The only difference seems to be that Prospit dreamers can see Skaia and thus get visions of the future. "Calliope" being in the name of Gamzee's theme is coincidence, as a calliope is part of you know, a circus?
3: Calliope mentioning topspin and thus "english" means nothing, since she didn't connect it with billiards. If anything, it was a red herring. We as yet have no indication at all where the pool theme or the name Lord English came from. It's even possible that Caliborn took that name because of Jake's last name! Time loop. Caliborn abandoning "games with idiots" actually fits with Lord English, since he doesn't even play games. He just up and destroys shit. He delegates the game playing to his servants like Doc Scratch.
4: Calliope lying actually makes her less likely to be Lord English, since, for example, Doc Scratch doesn't lie. I'm not sure she ever really did directly lie, though. She compared herself to a troll, but did she say she was a troll?
5: Now this is just silly. Caliborn requested Dirk to draw a lot of 'smut' of Roxy and Jane. That's plenty of evidence that he's fond of ladies.
6: Calliope was writing over the code in the ~ATH book. I dunno about you guys but I wouldn't draw all over a textbook for a programming language that I was using, even after learning it. Who knows where the code on the server came from? Maybe Caliborn had one of the pre-scratch loyalist Trolls write it for him.
7: The Green Sun has nothing to do with Space players. It's the source of First Guardian powers, that's it. It being gold is most likely just due to his pimp theme.
8: He overkilled Hussie. Him having a rifle/wand specibus would compliment Calliope's pistol/wand specibus, so that's a non-issue as well.
9: This is just stupid. It's not a Death Note reference. Also, no fan wants to destroy an author's work to make it their own, jeez.
10: In Lord of the Rings, Gandalf essentially gave Frodo the ring. It's far easier to equate Calliope to a good person through that parallel. Besides, the rings in Homestuck aren't evil. They are just tools.
11: Uh? I don't see how trickster mode is relevant. Also, her chat symbol is associated with healing and space, not tricksters.
12: The switched roles in the book make sense if you take into account that it was written to anger the Batterwitch. Calliope expressed reluctance to kill her brother, and was turning to it out of desperation, not hate. The rainbow drinkers don't change their appearance- they just glow due to a biological trick, and Jade transformed via God Tier/sprite prototyping shenanigans. A Muse of Space's powers would not by any stretch of the imagination include disguises, and besides, there are so many specific details tying Lord English to Caliborn's appearance that it's just beyond ridiculous to say that Calliope is posing as him. Saying that Caliborn is a good guy because his outfit references Doctor Who is also ridiculous.

A: Under the coat, Lord English has suspenders, which is part of Caliborn's theme. Also the cairo overcoat contrasts rather heavily with Calliope's tailcoat. It doesn't fit her theme at all.
B: It's easy to travel to the Furthest Ring, but difficult to navigate in it. The dead CANNOT leave the dream bubbles, and Lord English definitely is doing that.
C: Calliope was trying to get them to stop fighting, which would be good for them working together and succeeding in their respective plans. It would be better for Lord English if one of them died, so them fighting is a good thing for Lord English!
D: It's rather clearly been demonstrated that Hussie is the narrator most of the time. Caliborn being aware of the narration is lampshading the thought insertion for humorous purposes. If Calliope as a Muse of Space could influence characters, Lord English's timeline manipulation would be much more difficult, would it not?
Anyway this is all absurd conspiracy theorist bullshit. Lord English has TIME POWERS, not space powers. Caliborn is Lord English because Caliborn is the Lord of Time.
