It could also be that people are reading the sources again to look at the evidence before contributing and I for one have limited time to do my own research never mind voice an opinion on someone else's.
Original thought is rare but you have to have patience when you take people out of their comfort zone. I remember long YEARS of trying to persuade people Gaius Julius Vindex was not just another Gallic National rebelling because he wanted independence for Gaul. Some struggle to understand the more subtle and sophisticated arguments when they have been spoon fed by reputable historians (and biased contemporary sources do not help, either).
Please don't take it personally and keep up the good work.
