Actually, a classic ad hominem would be "you shouldn't listen to gavanwoolery because he is a terrible human being." "You shouldn't listen to gavanwoolery because he is not engaging in good faith.

It is a substantiated opinion based solely on the work presented and makes no judgements of his character.
