Are you braindead...?
"Ad hominem" is not "You're wrong because of X reasons, you idiot" -- ad hominem is "You're wrong because I believe your character indicates you to be wrong".
My attacking your character is not in unison with my counter arguments to your claims. When I call you a sociopath, I'm still trying to refute your arguments regardless of my personal feelings.

How many different people now have insulted you and called you out? I've lost count. It must be over 20+ people by now.
Could it just be that you're a solipsistic narcissist, rather than me being a troll?
No, seriously! This isn't a snappy insult I'm throwing. Think about it for one second.

Is not a personal attack, and is instead saying "You're wrong because of X reasons". This looks like an ad hominem attack to me, by definition. It was also your second post, which is off-topic.
You are literally saying: "You're wrong because I believe your character indicates you to be wrong".
