yes they’re attacking your argument and position as incoherent because of the use of language, terms and punctuation render it unintelligible, not because of who you are as a person.
Hello, I’ve seen you post a few times using the same format, so I believe this is a stylistic choice you’ve made. I’m not sure I should be engaging, but in case you’re not trolling, pointing out that communication you’ve provided is difficult to understand, and then pointing out a stylistic choice you use to communicate is not an ad hominem, it’s pointing out that your communication was difficult to parse and the ellipses (part of the communication) did not help.

I have to tell you I found this comment to be basically incoherent. Also I don’t understand why you’re using ellipses that way. I’m so confused.
…good for you, ad hominem…
That’s not what as ad hominem means
“Also I don’t understand why you’re using ellipses that way. I’m so confused.”
That’s not an ad hominem.
…what is?..
ad hominem /hŏm′ə-nĕm″, -nəm/ adjective
which they didn’t do. they said they didn’t understand you, explained why they didn’t understand, and then asked that you either explain or restate.
you abusing the definition of ad hominem seems like a gish gallop

…you seem to fit the definition…

…fuck you…
…you are attacking me for how i respond, seems, quite, umm…ad hominem…
…i see that no one read the original comment…
…we have not met, previously. please do not make fun of my idiosynchrasies…that seems so unfair and ableist…
Uhhh, you ok man?
…yeah, are you?..
…wtf? you think you are being fair?..
Did you just reply to yourself to ask this question? What the fuck is even happening in this thread?
Just a note, I couldn’t parse your original comment either, ellipses or not. And saying as much is not as hominem.
…any argument couched in how the argument is fought is ad hominem…
…too bad…
