What you did was literally using the whataboutism logical fallacy: attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving the argument.
I've bolded your next logical fallacy, ad hominem: This fallacy occurs when, instead of addressing someone's argument or position, you irrelevantly attack the person or some aspect of the person who is making the argument.
So basically, you're using social engineering in a (poor) attempt to initiate discussion.
