SH0102's post in Tagged the runner on a force was marked as the answer
Force is not defined by how a runner is or can be put out. A force is defined by whether the runner was forced to advance or not.
With bases loaded, runner on 2nd is forced to advance and as such, no run counts, whether he is out bc base or body is tagged.

SH0102's post in LHP faking a throw to first base was marked as the answer
Yes, it is a balk. You can not feint a throw to first unless you disengage from the rubber

SH0102's post in Runner misses home and 2nd runner touches home prior to lead runner being tagged out.... was marked as the answer
No, a runner who misses home but has passed home has acquired the base , but is subject to appeal (can not retouch once following runner has scored)
The second runner to cross would still count after appeal unless the appealed missed plate is the third out

SH0102's post in Base running was marked as the answer
Yes, the runner on first is forced to advance unless a batter whose name follows his in the lineup is put out first (which could only be the batter in this case)
Because the runner was touched first, he is out, and then the batter is out when the base is touched before he acquires first .
Had he stepped on the bag first, the force on R1 is removed and he is not out if standing on the bag
