No, an ad hominem fallacy would be if I called the poster mentally or educationally deficient and then dismissed their argument because of it. Attacking the argument itself is entirely fair game. Especially if I supplied supporting information to buttress said attack.
Feel free to argue their position or against mine if you want, but sneering “whaa, fallacy!” is just an argument from fallacy and is as unhelpful as an actual ad hominem attack.
