LEGOLAS: Well, we stopped that crazy wizard from leading us into the mines of Moria. GIMLI: Good thing you had the foresight to arrest Gandalf while you did, Aragorn. ARAGORN: I don't like to brag but you could say on the matter of not entering Khazad-dûm, we nearly walked into our...dûm. (Puts on sunglasses) YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! LEGOLAS: ...what? ARAGORN: What? GIMLI: Is that the best pun you could come up with? ARAGORN: Well, you know...the words doom and Khazad-dûm and...I thought- GIMLI: Go have a lie down, Aragorn. ARAGORN: Er, well...yeah, okay.

Come on people. Let's get back on track or I'm just going to shut the thread down.

Aragorn was already leading the Company. He told Gandalf that he almost lead them to their doom when they were considering Moria.

It's always sad to see a situation end this way. At the end of the day they're only books, and there's enough strife in the world without people getting up in arms over fiction. Ah, well.
Anyway, it seems obvious that neither Aragorn nor any other member of the Fellowship had the desire to stop following Gandalf, no matter the misgivings about their situation. He was the de facto leader from the start, and that too was never in question.
