Please don't lead off with telling us not to jump to conclusions, and then laying out your conclusion for us.
> I had the opportunity to hear the founders speak a number of times. They're one of the very few founders that are incredibly genuine about bringing a positive change into the lives of their customers.
> * I don't know the victim but it's easy to misinterpret events after going through an emotional trauma. Most likely it's a misunderstanding*
People aren't all good or all bad, and sometimes good people do bad things. Even people you admire. It doesn't mean they're bad people, or that you're a bad judge of character. It just means they screwed up.
You made a judgment about the character of the AirBNB folks and seem unwilling to question them now. But you haven't met the victim, and you're more than willing to imply that this is her misunderstanding while masking this in the faux compassion of saying she's just traumatized.
That's not fair.
- jmtame 15y agoIt's not a matter of questioning people you admire or not, it's a matter of reserving judgment and not making personal attacks until you know all the facts from both parties.
- kyro 15y agoHe's giving you another damn perspective: that from his personal experience, he's seen the AirBnB folks to be good people and that maybe we don't have the full story; so it's unfair to launch an all out attack on them. And how do you respond? Yeah, well, good people can be bad, too! Now you're just finding any way to rationalize your jugement of the situation. He said there are valid concerns here, but is urging people to consider that there may be other factors. Come on, people.
- Hisoka 15y agoI agree. Everyone thinks they're "nice, good, honest" people. Being nice is easy. Being emotionally intelligent is hard. It's not enough to be sincere. The person who works and slaves at their day job until they're 50 and have a heart attack is sincere, but is unintelligent.
