No, yet again you distort. Yet it wouldn't take a lot more energy to just be straight. Is is just habit?

I think that following my pointing out of your propensity to engage in ignoratio elenchi, your response, "Well, it's true that most of the time I deliberately don't engage your questions as they are posed. It may be your job to ask me questions but it's not my job to answer them," is an unattractive confession of both distortion and evasiveness, and your subsequent confession that iyo "rules of engagement" (your expression) don't apply to you here, is, in context, a second confession that you engage in distortion and evasion as a matter of course.

Also telling is the admission that you "side-step" my questions. That, again, means evade. But in the side-stepping, you misstate my question and point. Again, the distortion on display.

Put confessed evasion together with distortion, and call it what you will, counselor.
