Agreed. It seems for all the vitriol against AirBnb, there seems to be a vitriol against the criticism of AirBnb as well.

Either way, all the articles, from TechCrunch and on Hacker News, have been useful to me in understanding both the issue, the reaction in the press, the sentiment on hacker news and among tech circles, and beyond. This one in particular does add some new information which I found useful.

I will keep upvoting stories I find interesting about the whole ordeal and I encourage others not to be deterred by the extreme comments in either way.
