A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1]One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.
No, you keep trying to change the subject, and I keep calling it out while staying on the subject of health insurance and the meaning of the word “gambling.” Again, blaming me for your words and actions.

Can we trust anything else you say if you confuse simple comments like this?
I don’t care if you trust me. I never have. Others will trust the evidence and facts that they have seen so far.
But I will continue to point out when you post misinformation because it’s the right thing to do.
But it’s lacking evidence and facts, besides my very convincing arguments.
