Well, another option is to actually put some examples online. I don't generally
believe or disbelieve things just because others believe or disbelieve them; I
like to see objective evidence or proof. That's why I question why nobody
worries about fogging, but everyone worries about "foreign" film and
development, even though I've seen proof that fogging is a problem, but no proof
that foreign labs or films are a problem.

I believe this argument qualifies as a fallacy of distraction based on
popularity (i.e., the assertion that something must be true because most people
believe it to be so).
