This might get voted up, but other than that I don't see the purpose of this Tell HN at this point.

I doubt you know enough about the different sides of the fairly complex story to come up with definitive lessons learned at this point.

Thanks! Actually, I've been learning from this incident as well as a bunch of different incidents. I've put together my observations and lessons learned that can apply in my particular scenario, of which I hope there will be few, if any. So, however this particular case resolves is not entirely material, unless I can learn something more about what to / no to do.

However AirBnB resolves this issue is really their matter. I'm hoping to learn along the way what seems to work and what not. And on that count, I've already learned a lot.

As for votes, that's not my primary interest. My primary interest is to see what others might have learned as well.
