Arrington and TC irritate the crap out of me! There was a time when I loved to read TC, but now they are so obnoxiously arrogant and dirty that it makes me cringe to see links from them in HN posts. Why would they drop Paul Graham's name into this empty story?
Can someone explain to me how this is anybody's fault other than the jerk that robbed the lady (and maybe the lady's naïveté)?
I know AirBnB has made a lot of people angry with their business tactics, but how are they responsible for this crime? Can you imagine if the Hampton Inn sued Expedia for someone vandalizing a hotel room or expecting restitution from Kayak for what a vandal did in their hotel?
AirBnB should listen to their lawyers and not accept responsibility for the act of a criminal or the poor judgement of a user.
- ceejayoz 15y ago> Why would they drop Paul Graham's name into this empty story? Paul Graham waded into it by posting on HN[1] with a statement that directly contradicts the victim's version of events. It's relevant, and TechCrunch covering it should come as no surprise to anyone. > I know AirBnB has made a lot of people angry with their business tactics, but how are they responsible for this crime? Per PG's post: "Airbnb has been offering to fix it..." Whether or not they're legally responsible, they've got a PR problem on their hands.
