I'd suggest giving them a "deadline" if they haven't at least responded constructively within a few days. Something like "If you're actually serious you have until $TODAY+7 days to post something substantive, otherwise I'm going to assume you have nothing actionable.". (Of course adjust 7 as needed based on the situation at hand.)

In any case you can just say: "OK, until someone comes up with evidence to the contrary, I think we should go with my version. If someone shows up with a better version later, I have no objection to merging that."
