Using Prepositions

Question 1) It was me who wrote the last comment in your profile.
or
It was I who wrote the last comment in your profile.

Question 2) And what preposition should I use with "profile"? "In my profile" or "on my profile". In my view we use "on" for all the information on the Internet.

Question 3) If there is an internet problem what should I say?
with the Internet or in the Internet

In response to your questions, I would say: 1. "It was me who wrote the last comment in your profile" This is because the "me" is part of the object of the sentence. 2.

'Me' is not the object of anything in that sentence. That is why purists would insist on 'I'., though manyt native speakers would say 'me'.

You are absolutely correct. Native speakers tend to over generalise from the correct "It was me" to the technically incorrect "It was me who ..."
