Argumentum ad baculum

Threat of force to make a conclusion accepted

Argumentum ad baculum is the fallacy committed when one makes an appeal to force to bring about the acceptance of a conclusion. One participates in argumentum ad baculum when one emphasizes the negative consequences of holding the contrary position, regardless of the contrary position's truth value—particularly when the argument-maker himself causes those negative consequences. It is a special case of the appeal to consequences.
