also isn't pointing out that someone pulled an ad hominem alone an ad hominem in its own right

No. An ad-hominem attacks their personal traits or character. Accusing someone of pulling an ad-hominem is a simple "calling them out" kind of thing.

No, ad hominem is when someone makes a personal attack as the central point of their argument. Like, if a politician said, "The other candidate is a woman, so her foreign policy plan is pointless", that would be ad hominem because the other politician is using a personal attack to discredit her foreign policy. But if the same politician said, "The other candidate's foreign policy is ridiculous because she wants to annex Cuba. What a dumb woman!", the personal attack has nothing to do with his argument. It's just something he stuck at the end of his sentence to be a jerk. Not ad hominem.

Half the time, a personal attack is used as an extra jab that is not part of a person's argument. That's why it's not an ad hominem attack. Know the difference.
