From your link:

"You attacked your opponent's character or personal traits in an attempt to undermine their argument."

I didn't call you a pussy to undermine your argument, I called you a pussy because you are being a pussy.

An ad hom would look like this:

SparkyStalcup: Gun deaths go up when gun control goes down.

Ummmm: You're a pussy, so you are wrong.

In that scenario, my personal attack is used to undermine your argument. In this thread, I am simply (and accurately) calling you a name.

Seriously, you need to learn what an ad hominem is. You inaccurately drop it all the time.
