This forum exhausts me

Yes it certainly can be exhausting at times. For example now we have two threads going about essentially the same thing. And this thread makes no sense unless one is familiar with the other threads you reference, but in particular this one.

You say you want a “healthy discussion” but you are not willing to entertain the possibility that you are at fault? Hmm. In any Airbnb transaction there are a few avenues to explore: it’s the host’s fault, the guest’s fault, Airbnb’s fault, no ones fault. So you are trying to tell strangers on the internet that one fourth of the explanations are off the table. This is the second time members of the forum have suggested that the use of the term villa may be problematic. The other post was titled too small and not good value so many forum members focused on that trying to figure out why someone would say that.

You see the issue as one of why would someone give up $600. You’ve also said these are apartments for special romantic weekends. Very much upscale for special occasions. I’m not familiar with all the housing in Australia so maybe couples from Melbourne shouldn’t expect stand alone homes but in most of the english speaking world they would.

As for the issue of the exhausting forum…every time we get a complaint about the forum I say the same: it’s the internet. You can’t control what people say. Unless people are violating the forum TOS (insulting people, engaging in hate speech) it’s going to stand. There was a case where you posted something and no one commented on it and just scrolled past. Then you made a separate post about it. Then people commented and you complained about the comments. It appears we are following a pattern here.
