I had exactly the same experience when I released my full version. There was a huge kick-back in the comments (and email) accusing me of all sorts and calling me every name you can imagine. This despite the fact that the free version had loads of functionality added to it at the time of the full release. There seemed to be some assumption that I had cut the free version back and charged for what was previously free which was completely untrue. I did find it quite amusing seeing comments like "haha, I haven't updated and I still have the full free version", knowing that these people were actually missing out on all the new content :)
Try not to take it personally, thankfully after a couple of weeks it died down for me.
