This seems like a generic excuse you've developed, and it's not a bad one to use when waving off random comments from people who have little idea what they're talking about. But my particular arguments already share most of the same assumptions as MIRI, with each post focusing only on one or two key points of disagreement. If it's not worth your time to reply to my criticisms, then I don't see whose criticisms you could possibly find it worthwhile to respond to.

Which of your many discussion threads on AI risk strategy do you most wish would be engaged further by somebody on staff at MIRI?

I was going to say "this post" but now that Eliezer has responded I'm satisfied with MIRI's level of engagement (assuming he doesn't abruptly disappear at some point as he occasionally does during our previous discussions).

Looking at my other top level posts, I'd be interested to know what MIRI thinks about this and this.

My initial replies are here and here.

Which other writings of yours would you most like at least an initial reply to? Or, if there were discussions that were dropped by the MIRI party too soon (from your perspective), I could try to continue them, at least from my own perspective.

Thanks, I don't currently have a list of "writings that I wish MIRI would respond to", but I'll certainly keep your offer in mind in the future.
