FED - Force Play Slide Rule

I would like to get some opinions on something that has become a hot topic in my area recently.

Is a forced runner in violation of the FPSR when he a) slides past the bag, or b) slides off to the side away from the fielder when, in both cases he makes no contact with the fielder nor hinders/complicates the play in any manner? Should an automatic out be called on the BR in such cases?

Thanks!
