Just to start off, the quoted text is something you said.

No, the quoted text includes a fragment of what I said. Your statement about what I said is wrong as a whole.

it's describing the point I was making,

The point you were making has nothing to do with the discussion that's going on. That's called a non-sequitur, and it's a traditional rhetorical fallacy.
