I think we are all free to make our decisions, explaining the reason behind your actions won't change people's opinion. So, why bothered?
I think human beings are wired that way, we judge intentions not the actions or even the motive behind the actions.
When a loved person did something wrong, we give reasons to cover him up, but let the unloved one repeat the same thing, the whole world will hear about him.
Ever since I know you through @alexandravart, you have always been somebody of your word. I love people of such quality
Go ahead with your intentions and actions if you are good with it.
