I am not confident you are using ad-hominem correctly. From the Merriam Webster online dictionary:
“1 : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect
an ad hominem argument
2 : marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made
made an ad hominem personal attack on his rival”
(Here on HN, I think that #2 is the most common usage.)
