I'm on the opposite side of that argument. I love threading.
It allows me to easily have multiple different conversations in the same channel at the same time.
And, if I need to, in the future, share that conversation with someone, I can link them directly to that one thread.
What would I do otherwise, when I needed a team mate to get up-to speed on a convo that happened months ago... Hey go back to August 8th at 1PM and read everything while filtering out all the things that aren't relavent? Crazy talk!
Edit: I will say for this to work, a higher up at your company needs to slap people when they don't use threads. In my org. our CTO is very good about reminding people to use threads.
