It's hilarious how all of you got triggered by 1 word in the thread title.

Why is it that easy to set you off?

No one's triggered or "set off." You posted a topic of conversation, people noted that although you referred to it as bioterrorism and a bioweapon, that didn't seem to be reflected in the actual article. If you had just said, "oh, I see" - or something similar to that - it would have just ended. You had a wrong initial take (or were repeating someone else's characterization of the story), and once that was pointed out to you, you could have just taken in the information and everyone would have moved on.

Instead you pushed back and argued that your labelling of this as bioterror or involving a bioweapon was correct. So people just continued the discussion with you, looked a little more into it, and presented even more information that showed your initial take was wrong.

You can do what you want, of course. It's a message board. But it's not us being "triggered" if you make a mistake and we point it out to you, but you keep arguing and arguing the point. We're just patiently explaining why you're incorrect for as long as you want to keep talking about it.
