people can have disagreements, so they discuss and sometimes find common ground

i just think it would be nice to know which situation i'm stepping into if i reply to a post. should be pretty easy for the admins to add a little icon next to the username showing the user trashed the current thread, or a warning page saying "the user you're replying to won't be able to see your response" when you hit reply.
