Anyone willing to filibuster the process until they've chased away or lessened the interest of all other debaters "wins" by default under that scenario taken to the extreme, because if you couple others' avoidance of engaging in discussion with no minimum requirement for how many must participate for something to be considered a community consensus, then a tiny number of individuals can set policy as they see fit.

Also, we may all be in that crowd at one point or another, but the key is to try to look beyond ourselves, for example, I loathe having to spend time policing the "time-dependent lists of XYZ" pages, but I tolerated them until they became merely redundancies of existing categories, as opposed to calling for their abolition based solely upon my personal preference.
