Hi there Annette,
What I was refering to, we see quite often where the guest has given a reasonable review of the host, and the host in their review has complained about the guest, broke house rules, stayed after due departure, you know, you have seen it plenty of times. Now previously in that scenario that was just too bad for the guest, they had their say and that was it. The host had the ability to respond to the guest through a public response, but the guest did not have that same ability.
Now apparently they do, and in the above situation where the host has given a less than flattering review of the guest, the guest can now come back and say what a 'bleep' the host had been. Can you see what I mean?
You are right, it is fair, and for myself I think it's great, I am not 'upset' by it in the slightest....I was just a bit taken back to see it and I wondered how long this 'little' alteration had gone un-noticed by me!
Annette, what I have just mentioned is never going to happen to you, you are simply too good to let that happen....and it is not going to happen to me! But I can see where this (in some situations) is just going extend the 'he said/she said' retaliation through the review system that we see a lot of here on the forum.
Cheers......Rob
