Gyn, I love you, but...
your gun game is more than terrible :D BUT nevermind that, mine is even worse, hasn't stopped me from being active in PC since it started ;)
But seriously, your post confused me. You basically say you don't particitipate in PC because you were turned off by the bad performance of that game mode, ie. something only CCP can fix. Yet you say "If your goal is to improve PC for the people already playing it, your channel is exactly the right way to pursue that goal. If you want to draw more people into PC, or get people like me back into PC, your channel is exactly the wrong way to pursue that goal."
How would the venue in which the active PC participants discuss their opinions and try to pitch their ideas at CCP in any way affect the technical side of the game, that is, actual performance like framerate and lag? As in, even if no discussion of anything was done outside of these forums (which is childish to assume to be the case anyway), the conversation about the attack and timer mechanics has no bearing on the reason why you and many others have given up on PC... that reason being Can't Code Properly.
Honestly, I can't help but think most people having some sort of bizarre objection to a group of players wanting to have a chance to pitch their ideas directly to Rattati without constant interference from those WHOSE OPINIONS ARE ALREADY OUT HERE ON THE FORUMS ANYWAY is just a case of "boo hoo I didn't get invited to the prom"... O.o
Any of you honestly think even if (and I think it's a big if) Rattati sits down with a group of PC veterans, to listen to their experiences and concerns, he will automatically just do everything they tell him to? Really?
I personally think the forums would be a fine venue for any of these discussion, if only a) more than a tiny fraction of the playerbase actually visited and b) less people spouted garbage from behind alts.
Also, I would just like to see less of "well I don't actually understand the current mechanics but I still think they need to be changed in X Y and X ways because I think it's unfair that I would actually have to fight anyone if I don't want to, just give me the shiny stuff" and so on... 
Have you considered installing the improved keyboard?
