I'd argue that wild histrionics as you have just demonstrated are worse than whatever this is (which certainly does not infringe on anyone's liberty).

Spot on.

It infringes my liberty to browse with JavaScript enabled. Further, when the argument is lost, ad hominem becomes the tool of the loser.

You don’t have a right to browse someone else’s content.

Calling out your histrionics for what they are is not ad hominem. I’m attacking your statement, not your person.

Further, that’s not some sort of axiomatic law, that’s just a phrase. Even if it was, losers using ad hominem doesn’t mean winners don’t, that’s not how logic works.

He may have insulted you, but not all insults constitute logical fallacies.

Ad hominem: You're wrong because you're an idiot.

Just an insult: You're an idiot because you're wrong.

Furthermore, concluding that somebody is wrong because they used a logical fallacy is itself a logical fallacy. If I said "2+2=4 because you're an idiot" my reasoning would be fallacious, but to conclude that the answer must therefore not be four is also fallacious.
