Good Grief, our education system truly is failing us.

For an attack to be Ad Hominen a position or argument must first be taken. Ad Hominen logic is as follows:

Person A claims X.
Person B makes an attack on person A’s credibility(as opposed to the factual circumstances of Person A’s claim).
Therefore A’s claim is false.

Since the poster took no position and his position was in substance nothing but name calling and profanity; my response could not be Ad Hominem by definition. It was a personal attack, not an Ad Hominem attack. His response to the article was Ad Hominen, and somewhat perplexing since I was not the author of the article, and I merely submitted it for consideration with no claim to its apodicticity.
