I think you fail to look at the general reaction from the other side, all you have to look at is Robert Scoble's reaction to the women, calling her "crazy", "batshit crazy", "drama queen" and just about every other proponent and investor placing the blame on this women for renting out her property and keeping her stuff in the place where she lives, but this is exactly the point of airbnb. So which is it, don't rent out the space where you live, or only rent out a space that you use as only as investment.

The responses in this thread is exactly what Carr is talking about. The women is trying to be vilified when she was the victim. Maybe airbnb is not the villain here either, but she certainly isn't and Airbnb's handling of the situation was less than honorable.
