That phrase you keep using, "ad hominem"... it doesn't mean what you seem 
to think it means.

An ad hominem attack is not when somebody makes a criticism of you 
personally. It is when somebody says something along the lines of "Don't 
pay any attention to Alf, he doesn't know what he's talking about, he's a 
<whatever>".

You might not like the personal criticism, but that doesn't make it 
either an attack or a fallacy.
