I have "faith in humanity issues" that prevent me from believing this series will be profitable to you David, but I think it is a great idea for a series on Steem and you are well-suited to deliver it just because of your demeanor and presentation style. I for one am really enjoying it and I applaud the effort.

I think Racist and Sexist are some of the most frequently used Ad Hominems, because these aren't reasons why an argument is wrong, but rather they are conceptual tools for showing how someone's reasoning may be flawed...

Your first example isn't the best example for an ad hominem (in my opinion anyway). Because in "you're just paranoid" it could to be implied, that he is being paranoid about this subject in particular. An ad hominem would be to claim, that John is a paranoid person in overall and than to conclude, anything he is concerned about must be absurred.
It sounds more like a different fallacy, "appeal to the stone", because Steve seems to be inferring, that John is being paranoid, because his claim is absurred. However, Steve just inferres, that his claim is being absurred, he doesn't show how his claim is being absurred.

I sometimes find it difficult to spot these logical fallacies when watching these news segments because the hosts often quickly commit these fallacies in a nonchalant and deceptive manner.
