is there a way to tell if another DU user has trashed/hidden a thread or blocked you? [View all]

say you post an OP, starts a thread.

someone drops in on the thread, disagrees vehemently with you. you reply in good faith, and the conversation just dies there. one possibility might be that they simply can't see your reply due to hiding a thread or blocking your posts. it would be nice to know about that to establish context and answer questions like "should i bother trying to discuss something with this person?"

not sure how others are handling this. is there a way to know?
