It's all fun and games until someone is homeless.
Remember, a midst all this BS, there is still that woman who still doesn't have her house back.

I'm aware of that, but this part of the story seems to have evolved past that. I'm only referring to the "Arrington vs. pg" sub-story that's fallen out of this.
I certainly don't mean to make light of what happened to the lady who's home was ransacked.

#6- "Brian Chesky called me and I updated that post"
- "Chesky repeatedly thanked me for the updates by email and on the phone"
Seems like Chesky and Lukezic spent more time talking to Arrington trying to do "PR damage control" rather than talk to their customer EJ. Which, given Arrington's new post, totally backfired, too:
"At least have the decency to stand up and say you’re wrong, Airbnb, and apologize for the lies. Because hiding behind investors, and attacking the press, is both dishonorable and stupid. That’s no way to gain customer trust."
Ouch. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

#7Another example of a select few bad apples ruining it for everyone. This is such a shame. I've had great experiences with Airbnb. The last person who rented my loft left it cleaner that it was before!

It's a "sub-story" only if you make it to be. What you can do also is not give a shit and not look for debacles, existent or otherwise.
I'm more interested in how the issue is resolved, not how it's escalated. Does the women get compensated? what does this mean for the future of online business that, literally, makes its way into our living rooms? will legislation result? new insurance products? etc.

I think you're just being cheeky, but it is pretty compelling. There seem to be two positions:
1. AirBnB is a broker and carries not responsibility for the parties after the deal is done. They are sympathetic, but they are right in not commenting or otherwise participating in these affairs.
2. AirBnB is building a new model and has significant responsibility (socially, perhaps legally) for ensuring end-to-end integrity of its engagements.
I think this will all go away shortly, but I think we're bound to see very similar situations with other companies that change how people interact. Seems like Arrington and pg are working on totally different information, but I suspect they're both rather removed from the situation.
