V-Man: ad hominem simply means 'toward the man'; there's no verb in there. ad is merely a preposition and hominem, as an accusative singular form of homo, doesn't take a grammatical person. The only way ad hominem would be improper in this example would be if Sid were taking the literal translation of homo, and Sid wasn't, in fact, a man.
