Of course not.

Ad hominem is implying that a person's arguments are invalid because of something about them as a person.
You mean like saying that someone's that their arguments against something are invalid by suggesting they might be in favour of Gay unions in the Church? That sort of thing John?
No, I said nothing about any arguments you made, nor did I imply that they were invalid based on anything about you as an individual
Rather, I'm asking about the reason your evident desire to assume the worst about others without evidence and then, in the presence of information contradicting your assumptions, to continue to hold to your previous assumptions in the face of that evidence. I'm also surprised by the very mocking tone with which you address people, both present and absent, who hold to a given position. None of those things have anything to do with your arguments, but only your behavior and your assumptions, both of which seem incomprehensible to me.
Someone earlier suggested a possible reason for your behavior, and I'm asking if their reason was correct, and if it is, I'm inviting you to dialogue on the real issue.
Grace and peace to you!
