"Do you find there are more people on the forums these days who are only interested in forcing their _iews on everyone else ? "
Not really as no one forces us to read every thread or reply to every thread but I do see where you are coming from op.

No, apparently we all fucked our ways through the 70s,80s and 90s so who are we all to judge?  |

There and to the left a bit |
Preachers or people expressing opinions and engaging in debate?
I agree there's a fine line between the two but they are distinctly different, the key being able to accept that others may have a different opinion without necessarily insisting they are wrong. |

There's some key members, who you know will come running on some subjects, but as has already been said, they can't force an opinion on you.
Besides its good to be challenged?
If you find yourself with the majority its time to pause and reflect! |

I’ve made millions selling my forum pitch forks -
I don’t need naysayers ruining that business!

"I've never preached at anyone on here.
Now would everyone shut up and turn to Matthew 27:3  "
"Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself,and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,"
What are you trying to tell us? |

Yes, I noticed it on the ‘best flavour crisps’ thread, some utter shit was being flung around about Monster Munch and posh sounding crisps that have weird ingredients.
They knew I was right and they’re wrong ...Golden Wonder Tomato Ketchup flavour are the best  ignore them they know nothing  |

I'm not sure "forcing" is the right word, but in the spirit if not the wording of your post, yes.
Too many people who have nothing to say, who insist on saying it rather too loudly....

Often quoted; "You've got to respect everyone's beliefs!!"
Well, er, no you don't.
That's what gets us into trouble. You can acknowledge everyone's beliefs.
And then you have the right to say "that's fucking stupid, are you kidding me?"

Don't know really tbh...l only zip in and out here every so often so l don't really go through all the post's/threads to give an opinion but am sure everyone would have their own opinion on the subject but it's something l wouldn't be bothered to reply to.I'd have my own thoughts on things and wouldn't be one bit Interested in inviting verbal conflict into my life |

I agree that some do and they are absolutely certain their _iewpoint is correct, but that's not just on Fab.
But, also, people are not always great at getting their _iews across through the written word, it can be easy for what you've written to be taken the wrong way, some just revert to endless joking, and some lack sensitivity about what others are saying. |

We have some strong personalities who aren't afraid to express their opinion and back it up. On the whole I like it. It only bothers me if people get personal with each other.
I don't think you have to like or agree with everyone. I have often food food for thought in such discussions. |

Depends on the extent the word "respect" is extended to.
If it means no matter how ridiculous the content I have to agree and follow it, no way.
Unfortunately, looking around that does seem to be the way we're going. And that's what doesn't sit right with me.
Present me with some narrative and detail to support a _iew I'll happily (and respectfully) debate it till the cows come home.
For example, Just shout so and so's a cnut, when it's clear the only justification is the colour of a political hue doesn't really get my creative juices flowing.
Tell me why so and so's a cnut, give me a reason, a belief, an act, a deed.
I'm not convinced saying
so and so's a cnut because they have a different hue means I have to respect it.
I've rambled, does that make more sense?

Spot on - balance and reasoning play a huge part between being considered "preachy" and being someone with an opinion
Sadly all too often here lately though, even with balance and reasoning, appears you can't express an opinion without someone either taking offence, or reading some kind of sleight or hidden agenda into it  |

This.
A forum is, by definition, a place for ideas and opinions to be exchanged and debated. I enjoy debate, and will often join in with threads that interest me. I am fully prepared to have my opinion questioned, as I will question others whose opinion I either don't understand or disagree with - it's a marvellous way to learn, and doesn't mean that you have to agree with everyone else's opinion, we're all different and have different beliefs, and that's perfectly acceptable. I see the "preachers" as the OP calls them simply as people that are passionate in their beliefs.
The only thing that I don't like (other than when people get personal), is when people step in and tell people to stop arguing and be nice to each other - it's not an argument, it's an exchange of opinions, there's a distinct difference. As the mods would advise, scroll to a different thread if you don't want to read it.

None in the slightest - and I stand by every word I say either here or elsewhere. I express an opinion, provide balance and reasoning for that opinion and am prepared for it to be challenged - if others choose to read more into that than is intended then frankly not my problem and nothing to feel guilty about whatsoever. |

Seems unlikely that it would be the *only* thing they were interested in. The web is full of forums so picking a swingers site as your soap box is probably niche at best. That said, most would ban you if you opine on Donald Trump and wave your tackle in the air at the same time. On here, that's just tautology.  |

Bound to happen. Keeping the rif-raf out, and better advertising. Apparently site owners have done a half-page spread on Horse and Hounds and I believe Fab comes up first when you search for Avocado on Waitrose. Very handy, and the click-through rate is extemely high. All those frustrated fillies wanting something more satisfying than a breadstick... Chocks Away! |

Depends entirely what you're referring to, as your perception of "preaching" could be another persons perception of expression or passion.
I can get "preachy" about certain things. Why? Because they are things that have I have lived, things that have impacted me. And if my expression, my honesty and the lessons could potentially stop another person going through those things, or even get people to stop and think for just a moment then I'll carry on "preaching"
If someone is passionate about something it's generally born from experience. You may not agree with anothers _iews or opinions but they do matter. They may not matter to you but that matter to them, and you can't take away someones life experiences just coz you haven't lived that life.
We never stop learning unless we are too stubborn or too foolish to believe we already know everything.
On that note....

It's easy to get entrenched when on a forum. And on a forum like this you are going to come across people who don't agree with you or have a different _iewpoint - probably more so than in RL.
First instinct will be to dig in and lash back out. Defensive mode. Having your beliefs and ideas challenged is never easy - especially if they never have been before. |

Damn fucking straight!
Oh, and my _iews are always right.
Maybe not right for everyone, but right for me. And it's great when people offer their _iews because sometimes even a genius like me can have my own _iews made even "righter" for me by learning from other people and tweaking my own shizzle. |

"Depends entirely what you're referring to, as your perception of "preaching" could be another persons perception of expression or passion.
I can get "preachy" about certain things. Why? Because they are things that have I have lived, things that have impacted me. And if my expression, my honesty and the lessons could potentially stop another person going through those things, or even get people to stop and think for just a moment then I'll carry on "preaching"
If someone is passionate about something it's generally born from experience. You may not agree with anothers _iews or opinions but they do matter. They may not matter to you but that matter to them, and you can't take away someones life experiences just coz you haven't lived that life.
We never stop learning unless we are too stubborn or too foolish to believe we already know everything.
On that note....

Damn fucking straight!
Oh, and my _iews are always right.
Maybe not right for everyone, but right for me. And it's great when people offer their _iews because sometimes even a genius like me can have my own _iews made even "righter" for me by learning from other people and tweaking my own shizzle."
I adore you..you know that x |

That's so refreshing to read!! Love that.
I have found most people won't budge from there _iews especially over the internet. They just argue their point over and over and then it's not actually a discussion. |

"Do you find there are more people on the forums these days who are only interested in forcing their _iews on everyone else ? "
Wouldn't they be wasting their efforts and time in these forums? |

"If I can wade through the "rate my ass" "who's your favourite" general attention seeking/lamppost pissing threads I'll let you know
Haha don't see many of those threads around these days. Well not as much as they used to prelockdown. It was almost daily years back... so maybe forums have changed
Bound to happen. Keeping the rif-raf out, and better advertising. Apparently site owners have done a half-page spread on Horse and Hounds and I believe Fab comes up first when you search for Avocado on Waitrose. Very handy, and the click-through rate is extemely high. All those frustrated fillies wanting something more satisfying than a breadstick... Chocks Away! "
Haha missed this last night because fell asleep. Choccywoccydoodah  |

"Spot on - balance and reasoning play a huge part between being considered "preachy" and being someone with an opinion
Sadly all too often here lately though, even with balance and reasoning, appears you can't express an opinion without someone either taking offence, or reading some kind of sleight or hidden agenda into it
Guilty conscience there?
None in the slightest - and I stand by every word I say either here or elsewhere. I express an opinion, provide balance and reasoning for that opinion and am prepared for it to be challenged - if others choose to read more into that than is intended then frankly not my problem and nothing to feel guilty about whatsoever."

Having hit on a topic recently which caused me a lot of pain in the past I can totally understand that. I think that I sometimes sound like a bit of a dick though when I'm passionate about stopping other's from repeating my mistakes and need to step back bit.
The Greek Goddess Casandra was given the gift of prophecy and then cursed to never be believed... that's kinda how I feel in those situations. |
