to speak AT an audience (1) instead of WITH them; (2) instead of engaging in a dialogue whereby corresponding 'sourceable' facts and verifiable observations are exchanged in a spirit of respect for objective truth.
He's just soapboxing because he just ignores the points you make and responds with subjective personal opinion.

Morons who use Urbandictionary.com as a place to spew their backwards ideas (I.E, a soapbox) and defend the little dignity in a definition with a long rant, instead of using it as an actual dictionary. Soapboxers generally appear posting their rant in a definition in response to a previous entry (usually in response to a definition making fun of a country, etc.)
Example of a word with 2 definitions, one from some guy making fun a country, the other coming from a soapboxer.
Serbia

SOAPBOX JOHNNY : (Noun) One that stands and preaches on the proverbial soapbox. Figuratively speaking... of course. A Soapbox Johnny doesn't realize that he's on the soapbox until getting a headache or hearing the sound of his own voice drone on and on. A lot of times, someone else will have to kick it out from under a Soapbox Johnny; again, figuratively speaking. ( Authors note: The phrase, "Standing on a soapbox", originates from the days when speakers would elevate themselves by standing on a wooden crate, originally used for shipment of soap or other dry goods from a manufacturer to a retail store. Often used as a liberal platform for politicians or someone preaching politics.)
There is more to life than dwelling on a rotten world. Appreciate and enjoy Mother Earth and embrace what really matters... Don't be a Soapbox Johnny.

In the days of early politics after 1776, long before television and radio, political candidates would stand on wooden boxes, often ''soapboxes'', in the town square in order to address large crowds. The term soapbox stuck, and ever since then has been used in instances when somebody tries to preach his or her personal views.
There goes Mary trying to tell everyone how to live, I think I'll tell her , ''Get down off your soapbox''.
