Greenberg. Iridiot or irresponsible?: Thanks to all who enjoyed this
column's Iridiotic items on Iridium (IRID:Nasdaq). However,
some readers agreed with Oscar Silva, who wrote: "As a
journalist you should have learned by now that expressing
your opinions can always generate emotional reactions,
particularly when people lost money. Such reactions may
be offensive or unfair to the author, as it could have been in
this case against you, but that is no excuse for your
insults.

"You owe an apology to all the readers of TSC. I am taking
the liberty to send this letter to your editors for them to
judge."

Be my guest. Investors who lost money with Iridium aren't
Iridiots. Iridiots refers to Iridium investors who caused my
Hostile React-O-Meter to spin outta control (outta control, I
tell ya) for questioning the financials of Iridium before it fell
like a, well, satellite out of the sky.
