She could and should have handled it in a better way. As John said, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that pulling a $150,000 number out of ones behind and asking for crowdfunding is laughable at best and suspect at worst. I do think Ellsworth would have been better off by pointing out the flaws to his logic in a more private fashion that may have brought him into the reality zone and perhaps the project would have continued.
Twitter makes people vengeful and ugly, it's far much easier to just lambaste someone rather than engage them with realistic and helpful conversation. I expected better than a public naming and shaming out of Ellsworth, tbh.
