Ah, but our editor allows people to write read while they read, and reference other people’s posts.. so popping the editor is actually a good thing. It signifies intent to reply, and _does not block reading_ in any way.

I think suppressing the word reply is the best way to go here for now as we continue to evaluate. That mutes some of the loudness, while retaining the color that matches the topic reply and is correct.
