For those just tuning in, Paul Carr has been bashing AirBnB since last summer:<p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/25/fawlty-logic/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/25/fawlty-logic/</a><p>And has a vested interest in their failure:<p><pre><code>  Disclosure: I like hotels a lot – and I’ve spent much of my 
  life in them. Both of my parents are career-long hoteliers, 
  first managing large corporate chain units and now owning 
  their own hotel in the UK.

And now he's accusing these poor guys of "losing their souls". This whole internet lynch mob thing is scary. Let's remember that they didn't trash the apartment, they just set up a CRUD site with a good UI that got really popular. How exactly are they more responsible than Faith Clifton, the criminal who ransacked the apartment and who they helped SFPD arrest?<p>Seriously, some extreme hyperbole here.
