He had no part in creating the internet, so his statement is wrong. Some legislation, sure. But not any part of the internet itself.
I don't think it is right to characterize Teal's statements as a rant. Personally, I found his statements to be reasoned and well-expressed in putting forth a view that may differ from that taken by most people

And I agree with Wardad that a beter word could have been used.
