Why do i get "Something is broken, please try again later" message in a whole thread?

Has reddit redesigned things so that whenever someone blocks you you then cant respond to him and if he's the OP you cant respond to the whole post?

Honest question, i want to understand what i am experiencing and if that's the case because it certainly isnt obvious by the message that i am getting.

If this is the case...

I am trying to put into words how bad this design choice is but it's incomprehensible to me how someone could have thought that this would solve more problems than it would create.

There are no words, this is the worst design decision i've ever seen and i've been on the internet since the 90's!

They're making Original Posters into mini-mods. Now everyone can be on his own little power-trip to simply ban every person with a point of view that he disagrees with.

Better fix this SOON or i am out.
