Also, an ad hominem is an attack against the person instead of the argument.
If you attack the argument and then the person, that’s not technically an ad hominem.

Exactly. “No because you’re an idiot” is ad hominem, but “no because x, and you’re an idiot for thinking that” is valid albeit rude

No, that would be an and hominem.
