I'm willing to retract that insinuation at some point, but only if you
can continue to successfully respond to questions and objections as
they are raised. We'll see.

As far as your presentation being murky or unclear, no one is arguing
against that claim. But don't you think you have an obligation to try
to improve the clarity of the proof as you become aware of the murky
parts?

As a minimum, you should revise it to fix typos as they are mentioned,
correct misspelled words, and try, if possible, to improve the
grammar.

More important though is to improve the mathematical exposition as
well as the overall structure of the proof.

A few suggestions:

How about breaking the proof up into clear sections, with section
numbers or titles, numbered definitions, theorems, etc.

Try to use correct mathematical terminology and syntax.

If you are defining a new variable, why not make that clear by
saying "Let ... = ..."

If you expect people to work through your proof, you should be willing
to work hard to make improvements. In fact, I think you should be
happy to do that work. After all, assuming (against all odds) that
your proof is correct, what good is it if no one else ever understands
it?
