You are right.  No matter _what_ you do someone will be unhappy with it.
That is true in every aspect of life.  People will be unhappy with what you
do if you succeed or if you fail.  Do what _you_ think is right, and do it
the right way.  I may or may not agree with your choice, but I try to be
cautious of criticizing other people's choices, though I have been known to
be critical of either their (perceived) intent or their results.  You are
ultimately responsible for all of your  actions or non-actions.  We do not
live in a vacuum, but nobody else is going to pay your entry at the Pearly
Gates/Gates of Paradise/etc.
