I'm just saying that it is not at all an ad hominem to use an insult in this manner.

If you want to dislike him for his tactics, I will grant you that. I am not really here to defend Dawkins. I'm just trying to clear up how this specific fallacy can be applied. It happens a lot with this one.

But it's very simple! Dawkins is trying to discredit the Judeo-Christian God. He does so via insults. This results in the fallacy of an ad hom.
