Your comments were full of implicit and explicit signals of condescension towards the people you were talking to.
It would only be an "ad hominem" fallacy if I was pretending to attack your argument: if I used an attack on your person in order to undermine your position. But I'm not doing that : I'm attacking your person, in order to have you improve your attitude, regardless of what position you hold.
I really don't give a shit about your position on 9/11 or vaccination. As I'm not an American I really don't have an emotional investment on your government being innocent or guilty on these issues. I find your government already significantly much more guilty on worse issues than these two.
They properly criticize your tone, because your tone is absolutely horrible. Grow up or go away. This is a place for civilized discussion.
