also notice how throughout this entire thread I have not said once whether I am for or against net neutrality
I never said you were against it, throughout any of my posts (saying you used a fallacy doesn't count since I think you're still trying to make up your mind on it, finding counterarguments is part of that process). Should I make some crazy insult about how you have a viral infection because you assumed something incorrect? No, because that would be supporting the extreme degradation of political discussion that has grabbed this forum by the balls. Everyone makes mistakes, that's okay.
I actually did make a mistake though, I meant to say "guilt by association" instead of ad hominem. If I say that Carl Marx was pro-free-speech for example that doesn't lessen my argument, it's just an irrelevant fact that contributes nothing, especially when so much other evidence has already been provided (This is particularly relevant for Net Neutrality).
