When you respond to that by calling us "stupid," "children," idiots, etc., all the while claiming our arguments and positions are entirely wrong but without a word of why or how, that amounts to an ad hominem response.
But that isn't what his post was about. You are simply reframing his argument so you can argue against it. That is a strawman fallacy on your part. Until you can show the specific argument he was supposedly rebutting your claim of his rebuttal being an ad hominen can not be true.
