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.
Your "arguments" for your personal god have been found wanting so many times that mockery and insults are all you deserve.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
