the term "ad-hominum" has other usages. Ad-hominem (this is how it is spelled for your future reference, not being a grammar nazi just saying) arguments are used to describe practices when one debater attacks the other debater rather than his arguments.
i wasn't performing an ad-hominem because there was no debating. what i did is called "insulting". i was calling him ignorant, stupid, obnoxious, and some more, i don't remember?
he is ignorant, because he doesn't know anything about evolution, what it stands for, how it contradicts many of the creation stories etc.
stupid? this is dependent on whether he wants to think about all the arguments presented to him or simply is to dense to comprehend.
obnoxious is subjective. it is my opinion of him based on my feeling queasy everytime i have to point out that he is being moronic again. which is why i stopped debating him. i simply insult him from time to time because i am jealous of his high chess rating and because i am a nobody. exactly like i stopped debating you and will insult you from time to time because you i am jealous that you are a brave muslim warrior and i am a capitalist coward pig infidel who will never get 72 virgins.
