I know you want a constructive conversation with stackexchange, but after all that has been said and done by them, *maybe*, just maybe, you should consider that further secrecy (meaning: talks in private) will favour them and allow them to exploit your position even more.
With that, I mean that *maybe* you might want to limit any further communication with stackexchange to public communication, or put a condition on any conversation you have with them allowing you to publish the exchange verbatim. If what you wrote is even close to the truth (and all indications say it is) then you have nothing to lose, and everything to win, while stackexchange can only lose (if they talk) or lose (if they refuse to talk publicly). When talks happen in private, it only helps stackexchange's game of he said she said. This is true especially for phone calls.
Of course, only you know the exact circumstances you are in, and you have to think of yourself and what is best for yourself, so I am writing this merely as something you should consider, but not necessarily do - good luck to you!

Secrecy will only help them
