> Does PG have an expectation of not being dragged into a situation in which he could have involved himself if he so wished?

PG dragged himself in to it by standing up for AirBNB's actions in a public forum.

He probably should not have done that.

> Passing her contact information on to a third party -- regardless of who that party is or why -- without either her permission or that third party's permission, was a rookie mistake. It might have been well-meaning, but it was still a mistake.

Agreed, and I have apologized to her that I did not seek her consent first, based on the note I received afterwards it seems that she is ok with it, but that does not diminish my mistake and I should be more careful with stuff like that.

I've read a bunch of your comments about Paul Graham (Hes such a stand up guy!), but what you are completely ignoring is the fact the he is an investor in Airbnb. People keep telling you this fact, but you seem to not understand at all.

First, PG has a financial interest in keeping the company growing strong.

Second and most importantly, if PG intervenes here against the will of other investors, they may not want to invest in future companies where PG is a shareholder. So it is vastly in PG's interest to not act on the contact info you gave him.

Overall, all you did was seriously creep out a vulnerable lady.
