The Talmud brings an episode:
הָנְהוּ בְּנֵי קָקוּנָאֵי דְּאָתֵי לְקַמֵּיהּ דְּרַב יוֹסֵף, אֲמַרוּ לֵיהּ: הַב לַן גַּבְרָא דְּלִיעָרֵב לַן מָאתִין. אֲמַר לֵיהּ לְאַבָּיֵי: זִיל עָרֵב לְהוּ, וַחֲזִי דְּלָא מְצַוְוחַתְּ עֲלַהּ בְּבֵי מִדְרְשָׁא. אֲזַל, חֲזָא לְהָנְהוּ בָּתֵּי דִּפְתִיחִי לְנַהֲרָא. אָמַר: הָנֵי לֶהֱוֵי שִׁיּוּר לְמָתָא.
Residents of the city of Kakunya came before Rav Yosef and said to him: Provide us with someone who will establish an Eruv for our city. The city had originally been a public city and had turned into a private one, requiring that part of the city be excluded from the eruv. Rav Yosef said to Abaye: Go, establish an eruv for them, and see to it that there is no outcry against it in the study hall, i.e., make sure the eiruv is valid beyond any doubt…
The Gemara continues mentioning the problems Abaye had making an Eruv that everyone would like. The Eruv is quite technical, and there was debate about how to exclude a portion of the town from the Eruv. We still have significant arguments about certain types of Eruvin in modern times.
When there is something to quibble about, you can rest assured someone will object to what you are doing. While there is a great value in doing what is right in the eyes of others (Deuteronomy 6:18), you cannot make everyone happy. You need to decide what is right, based of course on appropriate research and planning. While you are figuring out your approach to your particular problems, it is wise to consult others, especially with men who have seen the same challenges. Abaye himself corrected Rabbi Zera about making an Eruv (on yesterday’s daf).
When you know you are working on your mission in the best way, with advice of experienced men, you don’t have to worry about the naysayers.
