You are right.
An argumentum ad hominemcan be either an appeal to feelings or prejudices of the hearer, or an argument relying on personal abuse, an attack on his character rather than his viewpoint. There would have to be some viewpoint present.

I found a list of these different argumenti. I hadn't realized how many there were!

argumentum ad crumenam ("argument to the purse")-appeal to financial interests

argumentum ad ignorantiam - argument founded on the ignorance of the opponent

argumentum ad invidiam- appeal to prejudices

argumentum ad judicium--appeal to common sense

argumentum ad misericordiam--appeal to pity

argumentum ad rem --argument to the real issue!!!

argumentum ad verecundiam appeal to awe or reverence toward prestigious name

argumentum ad baculinum --argument of the stick--- force

argumentum per impossibile proof from the absurdity of a contradictory supposition
