Being able to quote google searches does not make you a better person.
How can something which attacks a named person by name NOT be ad
hominem??
Because when you're upset about a person or his or her behaviour, you
have to name that person and that is not an argument as to something
philosophically correct or argumentatively wrong, that is about being
angry with someone.
The argument is not "You argument is flawed because you are a woman"
(for instance) which would be an ad hominem: it is using irrelevant
personal detail to not accept the validity of an otherwise valid
argument. That is an ad hominem.
