Definition of red herring:

A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question.[1] It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences toward a false conclusion. A red herring may be used intentionally, as in mystery fiction or as part of rhetorical strategies (e.g., in politics), or may be used in argumentation inadvertently.

The original comment was somehow supposed to be making the point that the mentioned steps and actions were the ways and means to get to trial, etc. I did not disagree with that and so I countered that I had not only not said anything in the past to differ with those conclusions but also that I had not seen anyone else disagree with those conclusions either. Thus, making it sound as tho he was opposing me and my conclusions with those posted, which I did not disagree with......was a dictionary definition example of a red herring. Perfect use of the term in that instance.
