I see bon bon's objection to our claims to intelligence and humor. Those may be valued particularly, but they should be self-evident. (I think that's her objection. It's cheesy to introduce yourself by saying, "Halloo! I'm so smart and funny! Dig my utterly brill witticisms!")
On the other hand, I'm with Liese in that I dislike change. I prefer the archeological model. It's not like you run around Harvard changing all the stone-carved "V" letters into their rounder "U" selves. It's an historical marker of...the way we were. Also, I kind of like bugging msbelle. She's often at her best when she's agitated or annoyed.

Fuck. Is that where I've been going wrong??
Mr. I don't like change,
I do believe you were on the Pro side for adding more than one thread.
Maybe you don't like
this
change.

My deal has been stated. I don't identify with this place being about tv shows that are off the air or in syndication. but, more than that I just think it is a wrong description.
Is that where I've been going wrong??
Yes. Don't use brill. It's affected.
Even when I'm using my English accent?
It would be nice if our description described us. But I don't think about it very often.
I think our description should be a map of the universe, and right at the center of the map there's a little arrow that says, "You are here."
Maybe you don't like this change.
Maybe it's the proposer. Maybe she ought to try proposing things with an affected British accent like Jesse's always doing.
