We reexamine the role of radiative forces in an orbiting disk. A previous conceptual bias toward radially streaming radiation has caused the potential for strong optically thick line forces in such disks to be overlooked. We discuss possible consequences of including such forces in disk models. Although substantial uncertainty remains because appropriate line opacity distributions have not yet been determined, we conclude that line forces may play a fundamental role in ablation from the disk surface and in long-term disk variability.
