Not only does it not make me a hypocrite, being a hypocrite has no bearing on the substance of the argument. Questioning motives is perfectly valid, especially when there is a preponderance of evidence to substantiate that question. Appeal to motive is a fallacy because it has no effect on any statements made, so you're definitely confused on that front.
But when you present contrived scenarios to make a point (i.e., lying), your motive can and certainly should be questioned. Unless you're going to argue with most western court systems about the validity of doing that.
What were you honestly hoping to achieve with such a pathetic and ill-thought-out response?
