I never specifically stated that it was for these six points, I was referring to the article as a whole. I just do not think it is productive calling someone a petulant child and a liar in terms of having a productive discourse.
Strictly speaking, it's irrelevant, as these offensive words do not render the arguments he presented invalid, as they are not used as premises of arguments, rather as conclusions. That's why I asked if these 6 points (actual arguments/statements) contained fallacies.

I think the ad hominem term is used too loosely these days, and is being applied where it really shouldn't be.
