Re: You Are Welcome(d)

Noddy welcomed you and I welcome you too, Francis, don't be so tense. Please feel welcome(d?) in any event.
There's only active voice here, Cello. Both you and Noddy are the purveyors of the welcomes.

There is a passive structure here;
"You are welcomed", where 'you' is the subject of the sentence but is the receiver of the action, not the purveyor of the action as in yours and Noddy's sentences.
It's certainly not the most collocation, but I can imagine where, in certain contexts, "you are welcomed" could be used.
