Criticism of my work as a merit source

I would like to ask the community for an opinion, because since I was appointed as a merit source there is a local forum user who first pretended to explain to me what I had to do, and now he has become angry because of how I have given merits to two accounts, which had been inactive, reactivating every so often.

This user has received since waking up +71 merits, specifically those 71 are from this year, and 21 in a single post, by the new source of merits ( Don Pedro Dinero ) who rewards his inactivity with 21 merits in a single post.



So, what's the problem. The guy earned 50 merits this year before I was appointed a merit source and I gave him the merits he lacked to rank up.

I myself was inactive in the past and reactivated twice:



I was also helped to rank up, I remember by the Sceptical Chemist, and I don't remember if in any other case.

He also criticizes another case:

Filicius

Yesterday I gave him the merits he lacked to rank up as well.

My idea as a source of merit is first to circulate merit in the local section, which has been lacking in merit for the last few months. Then, if there is someone who is lacking merits to rank up, especially low ranking users, help them to get the new rank as long as they have been able to get a certain number of merits by themselves. And finally, hopefully as a consequence of these two, the traffic on the local Spanish forum will improve a bit.

Since I am a source of merit I helped Catenaccio to rank up and there have also been some other cases in the local forum where I have given them the merits they lacked according to their activity, in low ranking users, I remember sausalitox who I gave him the 5 merits he lacked to reach member status.

I understand that my action is correct, but since the criticism is so vehement, I want to bring the case to the attention of the community.
