Obsession v. "failure to be understood"

 From time to time, discussion on this list gets taken
over by a single thread, usually with one proponent
and many who wish to argue against.  Whilst one can
understand that a particularly complex idea may require
more than one iteration before it can be fully understood,
not all proposals fall into that category, and I therefore
suggest that there needs to be a mechanism whereby this
list can be sub-classed for a finite duration so that
those wishing to explore a single proposal /ad nauseam/
may do so without monopolising the entire bandwidth of
the full list.  What do others think ?
