x ~e x is not a collection. When you call something a "collection" you are just trying to hide the fact that it is a set and are using a synonym for "set". Changing the syntax won't gain you anything.
Collection = Set. The sets that are not elements of themselves are the collections that are not collected in themselves.
Do the collections that are not collected in themselves form a collection? If you say so, then you are inconsistent. If you say no, then your proof is not valid and Naïve Set Theory is still intact.
Set Theory is about what is intuitive and Naïve Set Theory is intuitive.
Think of a WFF as a mapping from relations to relations. Then it cannot be used on x ~e x.
If VARIABLE is a relation then (exists x)VARIABLE(x) is a relation.
