"ad hominem" means an attack on a person, not a group. So who is the person I'm attacking on a personal basis.

Your link: en.wikipedia.org Ad hominem From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject.
