There are large threads where it would be natural for one person to answer questions and provide rebuttals, such as a Change owner.

In other large threads, healthy debate doesn't usually look like one person "addressing all concerns". A dominant voice is usually someone so passionate they inadvertently drown a debate with their opinion without realizing it might be inconsiderate.

 There's good reasons why moderated debates don't let the loudest person keep hold of the microphone. I'm not advocating moderation, but just saying it's possible to be passionate, objectively correct, and considerate all at the same time.  =)

PS I won't take this thread any further. The irony of a back and forth in the back and forth thread doesn't escape me!
