"so much for some guy that got accepted to cambridge."
"Perhaps a bit more thought should go into your posts next time"
I'm no debate expert by any means.. It seems to me the first quote has nothing directly relatable to the conversation and would be a character attack, It also implies stupidity
The second one, IMO relates directly to the conversation being within the context of of posting and ad homniem. It does also imply stupidity or thoughtless ness
I wouln't classify the second as ad hominem because while it attacks the person it also attacks the arguement, whereas the first is completely off topic and is the focus rathe than the arguement [/2cents]

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
