You are very welcome to what you believe. I actually regret that I got sucked in to defending myself as a guest when the purpose of my original post was simply that I felt that airbnb was not being transparent by allowing my review to be posted. The purpose of reviews is to provide information for guests and hosts to make what they will of them. I don't really care if any of you believe me or not. I think what has happened with my review being removed and reposted shows how inconsistent airbnb is in enforcing its own rules and how dangerous it is with its lack of honest transparency.
I was not a great guest - I was uninformed and broke rules and I have been transparent about that with **, and in my review and my initial post here. However, I made very effort to apologize, correct my mistakes, offer compensation for my violations and to be a courteous and respectful guest. I did not cause damage, disturb any neighbors, and did not actually do anything that created an actual problem. But ** took extreme actions in spite of my efforts. ** had every right to review me and provide actual helpful facts rather than name calling - but it seems to have worked for her purpose. I gave an overload of facts and for some it will be a turnoff and for others it will be helpful. ** and all of you now have the information you need to never rent to me again that is your choice. And hopefully guests now have the information they need to avoid ** if they believe my review. That's all I really wanted.
The purpose of reviews is not to win a dispute - its to provide everyone a chance to offer their perspective. I suspect as I said initially, that ** hurts all of you including the good ones I am sure are out there. **
