A statement is only an ad hominem if 1) it’s attempting to refute an argument 2) by attacking the character/motive of the person

Which is EXACTLY what he did.

Ok buddy, you only quoted part of what I said. You’re wrong, accept it and move on.

  I took the part that was essential. Your claim that only things like this is an ad hominem is essentially the same argument.
  
  Your argument is wrong because you’re an idiot
  
  That’s the same as your argument is wrong, because you are angry and hurt, and therefore not rational. Both are equally as much attacks on the person and not the argument.
