To adapt the words of the 1st Baron Acton, first from 1887:

[any exercise of] power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

That even goes for running Airbnb. Secondly from 1861:

Everything secret degenerates... nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.

Likewise. Those words should be tattooed on the heads of the Airbnb functionaries who sent you those emails and then pulled the plug, so that they see them every time they go into the bathroom to clean their teeth.

Gentle soul, ain’t I!
