Right, it's called an appeal to the majority.
This is tricky when you're arguing someone who constantly switches positions and uses irrelevant misdirection.

Fair enough, although I'd say you did a bit of both (attacking the argument and the person), and there wasn't much of an attempt on the part of either party involved to agree upon any facts.
I was more poking fun at the phenomenon of people invoking logic in pissing threads than trying to make a point about you and Doc's exchange in particular. Carry on with the fun and never mind me and my "outside agitating," as it were.
