Should we talk about the 9/11 conspiracies?

I was reading the Ö÷²¥´óÐã editors blog the other day and this post stuck out . They normally get tens of comments after each post, and this one has over 400. It's about the way the Ö÷²¥´óÐã covered 9/11 and the collapse of WTC7.
I'm in two minds about whether we should talk about it on WHYS....
On the one side we can be pretty sure it'd get a big response. So is that reason enough to do it? On the flip side, some would argue we're being persuaded by a very vocal minority.
I think conspiracy theories start becoming legitimate points of discussion when they can so much currency that they have a real impact on what people think about an event and those involved in it. I don't know if that's true in the case of 9/11 but my hunch that is what's happened.
Anyway, have a read. Let us know if you'd like to hear this on WHYS.
