    A Red Herring argument is one that changes the subject, distracting the audience from the real issue to focus on something else where the speaker feels more comfortable and confident.

    Your argument is tenuous and rambling, I’m going to block you now.

      I’m pretty sure we were talking about walking down the street safety and sexual violence. Both if which are well within the boundaries of an argument. You can’t just say “herring” and “rambling” and claim to make a great point.
