Hello everyone,

 

Thank you all for your participation.

 

After reading this thread, I know several discussions are going on here and that there are a lot of different opinions. However, I have noticed that some comments on this discussion have become rather personal and does not benefit the community nor is it in line with our guidelines.

 

Sadly, it has escalated to a certain point where I believe that further discussion is not beneficial anymore.

 

Based on the above, this topic will now be closed.

Wait, what? Sarah was bullying? Because she explained to someone who was a self described non-tech person how to tag a person to respond to them rather than sending a bunch of short posts? If being refreshingly no nonsense is bullying then I am a total female canidae

@Ian-And-Anne-Marie0  That response wasn't addressed to Dori- it was addressed to Robbie. It was a general comment. I have seen that sort of posting before, on other forums- one one-line sentence post after another by the same poster, until they almost fill the page. I've seen it called out on other forums as well,  because it's annoying. In any case, I wasn't insulting Dori, and as has been pointed out, I then tried to be helpful to her and explain how she could condense all her one line responses into one post.

This whole topic was a falsehood started by Dori but I see you've managed to turn it into your own personal vendetta.

@Robbie54 

Anyway, accusing someone of bullying is a serious accusation. You've been reported. 

 

No worries mate. You were reported over 5 hours ago, Sarah too. You're the bully and I'm in till the end.

 

The stage is still yours big man...

are one sentence answers to particular, person put downs, and defense of myself illegal? or wrong? or against the rules, or not allowed,, or what else is wrong with them, tell me how I screwed up, please!

@Dori36  Responding to a post with many one sentence posts is rather odd and can be confusing for the reader. Not illegal, just odd

My point is your original (vague) claim is that Airbnb are "forcing" guests to make a BLM donation before making a booking with no proof whatsoever, we have to take your word that (impatient, lazy) guests have told you this. Then we are told that the page in question has the appearance of a "forced donation", so guests were not being forced after all. THEN we are told that guests are now NOT being forced (there's that word again) to a BLM donation page, they can now book a stay without getting confused and muddled about a BLM donation (that they never had to make anyway). 

So forgive me, but I believe that you're making a mountain out of a molehill regarding the donation page.

However your constant anger is focused on your claim that guests didn't make a booking because they couldn't get out of making a donation, so they left.  Yet other hosts have stated they've had no problems getting bookings, and no complaints.

You're making one hell of a claim with no proof to back it up, and no one else has flagged this up, to my knowledge.

I guess I'll now be receiving one of your now legendary angry posts...

@Dori36 

You never screwed up, you're probably just unfamiliar with the way the forum works and whatever device you have.

It can be difficult toknow who a reply is towards on this forum, but if you type the "@" key a list of members will appear who you can address. If they don't initially appear, then typing more of their name will eventually show it and it can be selected. That member will then be notified and everybody will know to whom your reply is directed.

What is wrong with you people? The woman is attempting to help owners, you would never know that by your responses! I personally care about the rental inquiries that are possibly being cut out during the whole COVID disaster, and I am hurting right now, and many others are! Too bad she is being criticized for trying to help.
