I saw your post above and this post. I think you bring up some valid points. But did you read the original post that started this whole mess? There's nothing conspiratorial about it. The poster was simply asking if the amount of bombs we had dropped in the region had somehow caused an earthquake. The main problem here I guess is that a couple of news outlets took the post and made it into something it wasn't. So I can understand Skinner's concern and need to set the record straight. But I've seen far more controversial stuff on here than the post that started all this. I guess we have to ask ourselves why two large news organizations would like to pick on little old us.
