Yes, God has been proven. That's not the topic though.
The question is when you know ad-hominem is a fallacy, why do you constantly resort to it, day and day, out, and specifically when I make an argument.
There is another fallacy, that the Quran shows, which is people pretending to not understand what Prophets were saying, accused them of speaking unclearly, and that they don't understand most of what they say.
Now perhaps I am unclear or uncoherent sometimes, but I'm guessing most of the time, it's that symptom that even the great Prophets faced from their people, let alone a person like me takes.
Some of you wonder probably how can I come to this play all the time.
It's because Quran has prepped me for the way Satan will misguide you and the fallacies you will engross yourself, including the foolish attitude of taking God's signs and proofs as a mockery.
I will be making a thread about these two foolish ways of approaching proofs when presented, in Quran, and that analyze rationally why it's correct, what the Quran says, regardless if you believe in Quran or not.
May God guide our hearts.
Ad hominem is indeed a fallacy, but one that hasn't been employed in regard to your posts. What you're getting are called 'insults'.
See, if I say, 'MysticKnight, you're about as coherent as a rabid howler monkey on angel dust', that is an insult. If I say, 'MysticKnight, your arguments regarding the existence of God all fail because you're about as coherent as a rabid howler monkey on angel dust', THAT would be ad hominem.
I hope this clears things up for you.

Context is key. If it's done in reply to an argument, it's obvious a way to belittle the argument.
As the threads filled with these insults are always in reply to proofs of God presented by me, it is a way to resort to implying the second, but people won't state that way obviously, because it sound illogical.
Instead their replies are just mockery and insults.
