Pet peeve, but an "ad hominem" attack does not mean a personal attack; it means an attack on an argument that relies on attacking the person making the argument.  Since Gu did not make any sort of argument, an attack on her is just personal, not ad hominem.

An ad hominem attack would be to say that your arguments in support of Gu are garbage because you are a no-good Harvard alum (my recollection is that this is where the Crimson comes from in your username).
