Possibly. But this kind of thinking is pretty universally used against any person or organization trying to do something good.
You can live a life completely devoid of ethical behavior beyond following the law, and nobody will say a word or think anything of it. But as soon as you put any effort to being extra ethical, expect endless criticism. Dave Eggars, in one of my favorite books "You Shall Know Our Velocity", has a quote that sums this up nicely: "The inactive must justify their sloth by picking nits with those making an attempt".

- dnautics 6y agoThat is an amazing quote, but: You could also put extra effort into being ethical, and just not tell anyone or publicize it in any way associated with increasing mind share. The only problem is that it then is difficult to "lead by example" but I'm sure there are relatively quiet ways of accomplishing that, too.
