How about you try again. You have yet to supply a shred of evidence that your support of net neutrality is driven by anything but daddy issues. Your multiple non sequitur comment certainly doesn't even qualify as reasoning, let alone evidence.
If you were right, you would have offered an economic analysis by not. Not your speculation, but a real economic analysis.
Verizon deliberately throttled Netflix data to Verizon customers to force Netflix to pay them exorbitant prices. FTC sat by and did nothing. However, magically, they suddenly backed down as soon as the 2015 rules went live.
False. Netflix's transit provider, Cogent, slowed it down because Netflix was over quota. See Streaming Media Blog, Cogent Now Admits They Slowed Down Netflix’s Traffic, Creating A Fast Lane & Slow Lane
Comcast blocked ALL P2P traffic on their network until there was enough customer backlash. Again, FTC did jack squat.
False. Comcast limited the upstream BW piracy apps could use in order to protect Vonage from degradation. See Tech Liberation Front, "BitTorrent Was a Bad Case from the Start"
Comcast and other ISPs are moving to implement data caps in order to charge customers more, despite there being no technical reason to do so.
False. Data caps do serve a purpose and they're endorsed by all serious NN advocates, including Lessig and Wu.
Without NN, ISPs will be able to speed up traffic from their services and slow down traffic from any competitors if either a. customers don't agree to pay them more, b. competitors don't agree to pay them more, or c. both.
False. Federal competition law outlaws this abusive behavior. The catch is Title II, which protects firms from this law. The solution is Title I classification for all firms in the Internet space.
Federal competition law - enforced by the FTC - already makes such anti-competitive conduct illegal regardless of who does it. Tom ("Dingo") Wheeler blocked FTC enforcement of competition law against ISPs by classifying them as telecom carriers.
So all the Title II freakout did was offer a weak solution to a problem it created.
Has it ever occurred to you that monopolies user their market power to stifle competition is not a new thing in capitalist market economies?
There was some good discussion of the Democrats' bot hysteria in the RIFO comments at last week's Communications and Technology hearing on prioritization. Matt Wood, speaking for the vast left-wing conspiracy, offered the traditional complaints about fake comments. One of the Republicans - I forget which one - asked him if the content of any of the comments was fake. The law, you see, requires the FCC to pay attention to content but not to personalities. Poor Matt was forced to admit that the comments said what they said.
The facts, logic, and ideas matter, but the names don't. It's sad that you've been misled about APA process by the troll blogs you're reading.

So not just daddy issues, rank delusions as well.

NN is embraced by people who have daddy issues. Sorry about that, but I'm not your therapist.

Pay special attention to the written testimony, and watch the hearing.

But I've seen you explode into paroxysms of homophobia at the slightest provocation, because dicks trigger you.
