I'll chalk it up to being relatively new here, but I haven't noted anyone taking advantage of someone else on these forums. What advantage is to be gained here on a sobriety forum?
As SoberLicious pointed out, there are certainly 'evangelicals'. People whose goal it is to convince others that their way is the best (or only) way. That's in the eye of the beholder, though. Almost certainly some people on this forum regard me as an AVRT evangelical. It's not unfair in some sense. I do try to spread the word. It's working for me, and I wish I had heard of it 15 years ago.
Is there an example of a 'snake-oiled' post you can point out? I have never seen a post on the SR forums where I thought the poster did not honestly believe in what they were writing. (Except for one SPAM post that I saw before the moderators removed it.)
