Ad hominem is a personal insult in place of an argument. "You're wrong and you're handicapped" isn't ad hominem, "You're wrong because you're handicapped" would be ad hominem.
Either way, attempting to derail the point by attacking solely the fallacy is a fallacy itself. Good job!

There's more than one definition to that on google and we both know it. Furthermore, definitions change over time and the last time I had any real experience or education on fallacies was long ago.

Thanks for sharing, young blood. You never could miss a chance to be smug.

What do you expect me to do, let you accuse me of being a fallacy-using fraud? You're attacking my original post under the presumption that it had a fallacy, I had to correct the record so it wouldn't hurt my reputation here...
Also, fallacies are supposed to be telltale signs that the person you're arguing with is most likely an idiot. You're not supposed to call them out like you've snared them in a trap card. That just makes you look pretentious.
