Auric,

Ooops. The article covered this too. It's called an Ad Hominem argument. A classic rhetorical device to attack a person or their motives rather than their arguments. Commonly used when the arguer can not rely on solid facts.

Adhominem Arguments

An Adhominem argument is defined as one that is directed at destroying the validity of a proposition, product, technology or service by attacking a person's character rather than addressing the rational flaws in the company's product or technology.
