That's very cynical -- can't she just be articulate and feeling violated?


She certain can, but she also bears some responsibility for using the service. For instance, I wouldn't use it unless I had everything from my garlic press to my furniture and space insured to the hilt, and was sure my policy covered these tenants.


I think it's been discussed several times already. In many cases, you can't get rental insurance for services like airbnb.


Is it cynical when you see a pattern in the language she's using? She's not the first customer to complain about the outcome of a business transaction she engaged in, remember Paula Jones?, so the public at large is already well-educated in terms of what happens next.

I'm on record with my desire to see counsel retained on her behalf before passing judgement on what exactly she's angling for and I think the specialization of that particular legal counsel will spell it out for us.


To answer you, yes actually it is. Innocent until proven guilty, and all the language patterns in the world can't change that?
