Firstly, an ad hominem is a logical fallacy where an attempt is made to discredit an argument based on some flaw (real or perceived) of the person making the argument. Since you haven’t made an argument, there can be no ad hominem.
As an example, if I were to say, ‘Lord Andreasson is a pig fucker’, that’s an insult. If I were to say, ‘Lord Andreasson’s argument doesn’t work because Lord Andreasson is a pig fucker,’ that’s an ad hominem.
I hope that clears it up, pig fucker.

Oh, nice, it's fun when literalists can't catch the spirit of what is said.
You remind me of the animated christian corpses who miss the spirit of the Word of the Creator of the Universe.
"Pig Fucker" is old , I prefer Master Bastard.
I'll let it go this time, mortal.
‘I’ll let it go this time’ as if you have a choice. That’s funny.
