Ad Hominem Fallacy
Ad hominem means “against the man,” and this type of fallacy is sometimes called name calling or the personal attack fallacy. An ad hominem fallacy occurs when someone attacks the person instead of attacking his or her argument. This approach can act as a method of discrediting an opponent or simply deflecting or avoiding the actual topic of discussion.
When we attack the person instead of tackling the issue, our audience might think we don’t understand what’s being discussed or can’t disprove our opponent’s view. It’s better to stick to the issue at hand and avoid confusing the person with their point of view.
One way to identify homophobic people, is by their use of the ad hominem argument. They frankly do not know what they're talking about, so they attack the person presenting the best argument.
To the contrary.
God is quite specific in his word. The sin of Sodomites,homosexuals,is abomination.
The Ad Hom that occurs in this thread is in the OP and against King James. No one accused James of buggery,homosexuality,when he was alive.
The lie slander and defamation, against King James has carried on for centuries.
It was a lie at its inception.
However,in order to discredit what homosexuals label as the clobber verses in scripture,those that specifically condemn their unnatural couplings,they insist the sovereign that authorized the printing of of the Bible that condemns their son is said to be a homosexual.
They think that discredits the Bible version bearing his name.
Spreading gossip is a sin. And yes,it is suspect when someone identifying as Christian defends Sin.
Especially if they excuse homosexual sodomy acceptable to God if the two homosexuals are in a relationship.
The origin of the gay King James slander.

"... Sir Anthony Weldon is the primary source of the allegation that James was a homosexual.
James's Enemies Discredited
Maurice Lee, Jr., a historian published by the University of Illinois Press, says, "Historians can and should ignore the venomous caricature of the king's person and behavior drawn by Anthony Weldon."
[22] Another historian, Christopher Durston, writes regarding Weldon's book: "This poisonous piece of literary revenge was to do profound and lasting damage to James's reputation, as it became the prime source for many subsequent historical assessments whose authors failed to make sufficient allowance for its obvious bias."
[23]
There were several others who
hinted that James was a homo-sexual.
However, upon examination, in each case, they turn out to be avowed political enemies of James and likely fed upon each other's gossip. Much could and has been written on this matter. However, Ste-phen Coston quotes a historian who lived much closer to these charges as "despicable and libelous, . . . full of lies, mistakes, and nonsense."
