You might be surprised to know there's an old aphorism (wisdom) indicating, "better the devil you know than the devil you don't."
Evidently you believe that the States and Delegates are populated with some sort of enlightened and ethical "angels", entirely distinct from from the species that occupies the "FedGov." I don't normally mind such foolish fantasies being entertained by others, except for when they adversely affect my liberty, and that of my family , as yours undeniably does. Both the States and people who occupy them are each corrupted, as well as ignorant to the deliberate terms of the Constitution, which is precisely how we got to where we are today.
Your reliance on this unfounded fantasy is not a very effective way to remedy the status quo, bet rather only the means to become a party to that status quo It's not that we who reject the a Convention (at any cost) are cowards, but that we recognize the hazard of the bountiful ignorance in unmistakable evidence.
There's one further relevant aphorism: "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." It would be as great a mistake to regard me a fool, as it is a coward, as fools that do so soon cower.

In light of the fact the republic is dead I would rather have 13 or 14 Stalinistic states, 36-37 "normal" republic states and a neutered FedGov, than the status quo. You must be a fascists at heart, you prefer all chains made equally and to the same federal specification.
Signed,
Someone who thikns you are a boot licking Fascist.
