IMO, this is a sign of strength.   An organization that can tolerate 
input from anyone can have a conscience, can be self-correcting. Even if 
listening to such input is often tiring, occasionally such input is 
quite valuable.   I don't know of any effective way of filtering out the 
less-valuable input without also filtering the more-valuable input.
