@fmf saidAre you sure? I am trying to improve my Engerlish and I don't want you to send me down the wrong path. Is just doesn't seem to fit "Are" sounds better to me.
No. It should be "is". Not "are".
Is you posting this, according to you, an example of "gaslighting"? Still looks like it should be an "Are"

@great-big-stees saidIf you say so, just doesn't sound right when I read it.

@very-rusty saidYes. "You posting this", in that sentence, is a noun phrase. It is 'treated' as a third person singular thing in terms of the sentence's syntax.
Are you sure?
@very-rusty saidCompare what I wrote to this:
Is just doesn't seem to fit "Are" sounds better to me.
"Are you posting this, according to you, as an example of "gaslighting"?"
This is correct.
"Is you posting this, according to you, an example of "gaslighting"?"
This is also correct but the sentence construction is not the same.
