Thanks. Didn’t know that. I was under the impression the “reply” link is removed when levels get deeper as part of an “anti flame” system. @dang?

Yes, that's what's happening. Apparently hiding the reply link and forcing you to go through a different route is considered to be a compromise that hopefully stops people a bit/causes them to take note without stopping the conversation entirely.

Every interaction is a learning opportunity. :)
