Because you may cite a legislation or piece of information, but then you argue it from your belief. i.e. your gut feeling. Which I can understand, but like you said in our other discussion:

Correct, I am not arguing. I am sharing what I know to be true.

That is not an argument of the facts, that is you explaining your viewpoint, your gut feeling. Again, i get it, having said that: It's primarily fuzzy and not proven. So i believe that makes exactly what you do ad hominem argument in some form. not that there is anything wrong with that as a whole.
I think people then find that in that argument, directing responses at you is the only appropriate way since its your feeling and you represent it in this forum of discussion.
