I don't see what it has to do with ad hominem attacks. It has to do with being accused of being "Rafidhi" for loving Ali (RA), an idea which he rejects. That doesn't mean that there aren't people who the label "Rafidhi" could appropriately be applied to.
Also, those who hate Ali (RA) are & have always been outside the fold of Ahl-us-Sunnah.. so your last sentence makes no sense.
