Nonsense, I did not. 
And there does not have to be such a claimed deduction.

No matter, that someone else does is no licence for you to do the same.

It does not matter to me if anyone said that or not.

You seem to misunderstand the ad-hominem falacy.

The ad-hominem falacy is that someone's arguments are seemingly attacked by 
attacking the person instead.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies>

"A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong 
moves" in the construction of an argument. [..] Some fallacies are committed 
intentionally to manipulate or persuade by deception, while others are 
committed unintentionally due to carelessness or ignorance."
