You wrote: "On the other hand I don't want to be giving in to all this pressure."

That makes me realize you are intransigent to the point of belligerence.

If it's the right thing, it's the right thing, pressure or not.

The point is to do the right thing, as quickly as possible.

If you don't know enough to do a permanent re-edit, you know enough now to take the first step in the right direction.

What has pressure got to do with delaying your action to set things right?

Why should you lock horns with people who are suggesting you do the right thing?

If you're a Christian, I can point to countless examples where men of God felt pressure to do the right thing, and often the pressure came from their peers, or even the public.
