It is. You're implying that the other commenter's post is invalid as 'blind opposition' because 'their side' of the argument behaves the same.
* Edit on below: On re-reading you're correct, you were categorising their comment. My apologies!

No. Tu quoque is an appeal to hypocrisy. Pointing out that other concerns with big industry have been misleading, as with Seralini's apparently fraudulent glyphosate study, is an appeal to credibility.
