If a post by a non-subscriber has a reply by a subscriber, the post should be treated like a post by a subscriber.

A troll, by definition, expects replies. It is unrealistic to expect that not a single subscriber will reply. Once a single subscriber replies, the troll post gets shown to all viewers. Purpose defeated.
