Every once in a while, it's worth reminding people that ad hominem is only a fallacy when the ad hominem is not relevant to the argument being made. In this case, ad hominem is not a fallacy; this source has a history of being repeatedly wrong about this exact topic without changing. At this point, even if he's correct about some particular point, the information content of the correct statement coming from him is still 0. Get it from other sources.
