Gish gallop is a term for a technique used during debating that focuses on overwhelming one's opponent with as many arguments as possible, without regard for accuracy or strength of the arguments. It is considered a fallacious technique.

I'm not saying you're incorrect. I am saying your argument is poorly presented.

Yep. Essentially, presenting an overwhelming number of arguments at once precludes rational discussion of an idea, especially when the arguments are poorly researched and no sources are provided.
