I almost never use adhominem attacks
I insult people a lot, but I almost never use ad-hominems. An insult is a personal attack which can be made along side an argument, an ad-hominem fallacy is when you resort to personal attacks IN PLACE of an actual argument. If I debunk what you say then call you a wanker hole, that is an insult. If I say "you are wrong because you're a wanker hole" that is an ad-hominem fallacy.

It's true you don't, Nom does this a lot more. This was actually one of the most crucial observations I made to realise you really are not the same guy despite having very similar mental disorders and temperaments. When Nom insults it is to add power to his arguments in a fallacious manner. When you insult, it is to unleash pure rage from your tormented brain. Side: understand
