If you are proposing that we do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, then the phrase in question likely applies to you, whether you consider it an insult or not. If it does not apply to you, I do not know why you would consider it an insult.
And I have never suggested that amending the Constitution is "the only solution"; it is certainly one possible solution. If the 'Red States' made more use of the 10th Amendment, for example, to limit unconstitutional encroachments by the federal government, the United States would benefit. Some left-leaning States have potentially helped promote that approach, with various "sanctuary" declarations.
But your "solution" doesn't address the problem and very likely creates more problems in this day and age.
That's an interesting opinion.
If a particular issue needs to be amended in the USC, that is one thing. But you want to open up a "CoS" whereby those officials who hate and violate the USC can finally do away with it, and those who don't understand the USC (of whom are many because the corrupt education system purposefully wanted the populace to not understand the USC) have a good chance of unwittingly destroying it. That is no solution to those who love freedom.
First, I think it's interesting that you apparently trust Congress to propose amendments, but do not trust any hypothetical Article V convention to offer similar proposals. Second, you seem to believe that an Article V convention might propose amendments that "do away with" the Constitution (via undefined powers nowhere mentioned in Article V, perhaps?), AND that 3/4 of the States would then "unwittingly" approve those same amendments. I do not share those beliefs, although they might form the basis for an entertaining movie script.
The problem is the corrupt politicians working under the USC and the uneducated public who don't understand the USC.
And with that, you closely approach an application of "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result". Do you honestly believe corrupt politicians and an uneducated public are recent developments, or that remedial action in both regards has not been repeatedly attempted? I certainly do not: both have been longstanding issues, with numerous corrective measures attempted. You might want to read Public plunder: A History of Graft in America (I read it 50 years ago, and highly recommend it, particularly the portion on Alexander Hamilton). And the uneducated public is unlikely to be affected by conservative efforts to improve their understanding of the Constitution, to any extent that actually affects national politics. I admit that is a somewhat 'jaundiced' point of view, but it is based on extensive previous experience here on FreeRepublic, with conservatives who don't bother to read the Law of the Land, but definitely know how they 'feel' about it - in other words (and IMHO), conservatives are part of that problem.

I am doing just the opposite. I am calling the American People to first EMBRACE and UNDERSTAND THEIR Constitution (USC) and then fight to dismantle the 80%+ un-USC portion of the feds which most people are not even aware is un-USC.
That is certainly NOT "doing the same thing over and over again." Your constant call for the futility of the CoS is "doing the same thing over and over again".

I wouldn’t trust any hypothetical Article V convention. Who will choose the delegates? The state legislatures. Imagine the crazed commies and BLM’ers states like CA, NY, MA, MD, and the rest will send. The red states are mostly RINO Republicans. Those guys don’t have the guts to withstand the commies and the media and will quickly cave on anything the commies want. Sober statesmen like George Washington and the rest will not be participating.
