The idea is to encourage wider conversation. Others choose not to post precisely because those who reply are predictable both in their identity and in their position.
If you go to a public conversation, a live event, and certain voices dominate, they are indeed domineering if the idea is to encourage wider conversation. That means sometimes you just have to listen and not reply. Everybody in the room is involved in creating a larger conversation. That is not going to happen if some people just always have something to say.
