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.
