Well, isn't that what he would probably talk about over coffee? We don't know how the conversation went. He may have said something like:
We're very sorry about what's happened to you and seek to
resolve it. Let's have coffee as soon as possible to see
what we have to do to resolve the situation for you.
Would that justify the criticism that he should have asked about how she was at that moment, when it would seem from the conversation that there was every intention to do so only moments later?
- danilocampos 15y ago"he 'would enjoy meeting' me" I don't think she really gives a damn in her current state what this guy would "enjoy" doing, is really the point here.
- Confusion 15y agoApart from jrockway's explanation: it may also be the way she currently construes and represents the email and is not a literal quote. Given 'her current state', you can't really trust her to be an honest judge of peoples' intentions. Nor should you fault her for that, but that doesn't mean her statements can be taken at face value.
- danilocampos 15y agoEJ has demonstrated a keen grasp of English language, punctuation and rhetoric. I think regardless of her state communication is clearly her strong suit. What I'm saying is that I'd bet good money she knows what quotation marks mean.
- Confusion 15y agoTrue, but the rest of the point remains: you don't know the rest of the message and how well she's presenting it. That particular quoted phrase may have annoyed her so much, that it doesn't really matter anymore what the rest of the email said. Even though an objective outsider would say the email was otherwise decent and acceptable. What I'm saying, and why I'm responding, is that I'm seeing classic lynch mob behavior: people are out with their pitchforks, making all kinds of sweepings statements about what is happening, based on very little actual information. You are making rather bold assertions about someone based on only that quote. Doesn't that strike you as perhaps a bit rash?
- palish 15y agoYou're right. But what you're missing is, it's not rash to be extremely upset in this situation. A woman's house was destroyed. Airbnb's response was to worry primarily about how she might impact their funding. Personally, I don't want to live in that kind of world.
