1) I have no relation to any core dev. I'm just a stupid nobody pleb in a shitty town in Italy who is trying to do something
2) Yes the way to engage them is through a post on delving bitcoin. Core devs always said thee are forums to address such concerns and delving bitcoin is one this. If the post gains attention the goal is to channel the discussion from all sides on that single post (delving bitcoin is open to everybody, so the names you mentioned are of course welcome to join the convo there). I would like to stress the fact that I'm trying to have a single post where core devs can organize and express a single voice that represent the majority of core devs stance. (all the viewpoints express on many forums by different core devs cannot be considered as viewpoint of core team as a whole. Devs have said this many times and I'm trying to address this problem
3) Like you I smell something fishy going on from core devs....but I cannot pretend to have a respectful dialogue if I go in the discussion with my mind already made up. I believe it's important to give the benefit of the doubt: If they care about it they will engage and reply, if they are malicious they will show it and then it will be an open single post expressing viewpoint foc ore team as a whole on which is possible to draw attention to to show their maliciounsess. it's a win win either way I think
