Doesn't have to be an either/or question, they both contribute. Large volcanic eruptions are fairly rare, however, so while they may slow warming for a time, humans put more CO2 into the atmosphere in DAYS than all the volcanoes do in a normal year. Don't understand why you say we'd hate your info. It's a well known accepted fact. It's the deniers that have trouble dealing with facts.

And just where in hades do you come up with that?
Please give us a link. Every bit of information I've found, indicates volcanoes put out enough pollutants in ONE DAY as all of Humanity does in ONE YEAR!
Okay, so they don't - NOW

Hey, longnose, are you really that ignorant and misinformed? Konradv said this: "humans put more CO2 into the atmosphere in DAYS than all the volcanoes do in a normal year". You then come back with this: "volcanoes put out enough pollutants in ONE DAY as all of Humanity does in ONE YEAR". Volcanoes put out a lot of stuff, including ash, particulates, sulfur, and CO2. He was talking about CO2. Were you trying to dispute his point about CO2? Or just trying to 'shift the goalposts' again. If you were attempting to claim that volcanoes put out more CO2 in "ONE DAY" as humans do in "ONE YEAR" then you really are full of shit.
Which produces more CO2, volcanic or human activity?
United States Geological Survey

(excerpts)
Gas studies at volcanoes worldwide have helped volcanologists tally up a global volcanic CO2 budget in the same way that nations around the globe have cooperated to determine how much CO2 is released by human activity through the burning of fossil fuels. Our studies show that globally, volcanoes on land and under the sea release a total of about 200 million tonnes of CO2 annually. This seems like a huge amount of CO2, but a visit to the U.S. Department of Energy's Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) website helps anyone armed with a handheld calculator and a high school chemistry text put the volcanic CO2 tally into perspective. Because while 200 million tonnes of CO2 is large, the global fossil fuel CO2 emissions for 2003 tipped the scales at 26.8 billion tonnes. Thus, not only does volcanic CO2 not dwarf that of human activity, it actually comprises less than 1 percent of that value.
A short time ago (geologically speaking) the question "Which produces more CO2, volcanic or human activity?" would have been answered differently. Volcanoes would have tipped the scale. Now, human presence, activity, and the resultant production of CO2, through the burning of fossil fuels, have all climbed at an ever-increasing rate. On the other hand, looking back through the comparatively short duration of human history, volcanic activity has, with a few notable disturbances, remained relatively steady.

That's because you listen to propaganda instead of facts.

I know it's fashionable to discount Wikipedia, but they do provide references. Do some homework and you won't look so foolish in the future.

Volcanic GasesVarious industrial pollutants also may be present, such as ...sulfur compounds ....such as sulfur dioxide [SO2].
Don`t you find it a bit strange that climatologists make no efforts whatsoever to monitor SO2 as zealously as CO2 ?Average Compositions and Trace Gases
Most Common Gases
Scientists can determine the amount and types of gas in a rock, in the minerals within a rock, or in the gas inclusions in minerals or glass
- Water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) are the most common volcanic gases.
Some methods have been found to underestimate the observed amount of gas released during some historic eruption. Thus, the methods may give an estimate of the minimum amount of gas released. For example, Gerlach and McGee (1994) used melt inclusion data to estimate 0.08 Mt of SO2 emitted by the Mount St. Helens eruption. TOMS, COSPEC and ash leachate data provide an estimate of 2 Mt. Gerlach and McGee suggested a vapor phase carried most of the SO2.
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 73 (2009) 5241–5255
while the H2/H2O ratio in volcanic gases has not changed
significantly, the CO2/H2O and the SO2/H2O ratio in volcanic
gases have increased with time. It is proposed that during
the Archean these ratios were so much lower than
today, that the quantity of H2 was sufficient to reduce
20% of the volcanic CO2 to CH2O, to reduce all the sulfur
gases to FeS2 and to supply a significant excess of H2 to the
atmosphere. The progressive increase in the CO2/H2O and
SO2/H2O ratio of volcanic gases since then has led to the
oxidation of the atmosphere, because the quantity of H2 required
to reduce 20% of the CO2 to CH2O and to reduce all
the sulfur gases to FeS2 began to exceed the supply of H2 in
volcanic gases
