While I get your point, your rebuttal is a pretty hardcore ad hominem.

It's not a rebuttal - he's not trying to say Scott is wrong. He's pointing out Scott is a hypocrite. An insult is not an instance of the ad hominem fallacy.

He is arguing against Johns stance on AMP by calling him a hypocrite citing his views on iOS, literally a perfect example of an ad hominem.

Gruber, not Scott. He's not talking about the original writer, but for the guy that quoted him.

This is where he says his argument is rubbish because he supports iOS.
