According to Wikipedia, Al Gore said: I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. 96

UCLA professor of information studies Philip E. Agre and journalist Eric Boehlert argued that three articles in Wired News led to the creation of the widely spread urban legend that Gore claimed to have "invented the Internet," which followed this interview.979899 In addition, computer professionals and congressional colleagues argued in his defense. Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn stated that "we don't think, as some people have argued, that Gore intended to claim he 'invented' the Internet. Moreover, there is no question in our minds that while serving as Senator, Gore's initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet."10098 Cerf would also later state: "Al Gore had seen what happened with the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956, which his father introduced as a military bill. It was very powerful. Housing went up, suburban boom happened, everybody became mobile. Al was attuned to the power of networking much more than any of his elective colleagues. His initiatives led directly to the commercialization of the Internet. So he really does deserve credit."101 Former Republican Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Newt Gingrich also stated: "In all fairness, it's something Gore had worked on a long time. Gore is not the Father of the Internet, but in all fairness, Gore is the person who, in the Congress, most systematically worked to make sure that we got to an Internet, and the truth is -- and I worked with him starting in 1978 when I got to Congress, we were both part of a "futures group" -- the fact is, in the Clinton administration, the world we had talked about in the '80s began to actually happen."102 Finally, Wolf Blitzer (who conducted the original 1999 interview) stated in 2008 that: "I didn't ask him about the Internet. I asked him about the differences he had with Bill Bradley ... Honestly, at the time, when he said it, it didn't dawn on me that this was going to have the impact that it wound up having, because it was distorted to a certain degree and people said they took what he said, which was a carefully phrased comment about taking the initiative and creating the Internet to -- I invented the Internet. And that was the sort of shorthand, the way his enemies projected it and it wound up being a devastating setback to him and it hurt him, as I'm sure he acknowledges to this very day."103

Get the Internet mug.The type of person who spends much of their time on social media or messages just waiting for the next new cause to fight for. Be it videos of corruption, censorship, shameless trademark requests, or ethics in games journalism. Once they find something that goes against their simple moral code they fight back. Thus begins a vigorous and dedicated action or movement in favour of said cause. Though only on the internet.
Once chosen they will defend or fight for this cause even if they have no practical interest in the subject at all. For you see, what drives an Internet Crusader is not so much the subject but their own ideals and morals. While driven by good intentions initially the end result is far more ugly. This is in part thanks to the to the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory and the popularity of these stories gaining the attention of even more Internet Crusaders or people jumping on the bandwagon.

Tayne: You hear about how they censored the swimsuits in the US version of Call of Brody? They made Beatrix's bikini into a one piece swimsuit in the Hot Springs scene!
Robin: Does it matter that much?
Tayne: We should not let censorship exist in any form. We're lighting up their forums right now so bad!
Robin: Stop being such a Internet Crusader Tayne. Is it really that important?
Tayne: Yes. And don't tell me what to you because you don't even exist.
And then there was nothing.
