Hey, just an FYI, to denigrate means "to criticize," so although I understood what you meant, you might want to reword that (not to be pedantic, I just know that if I misused a word, I'd want someone to tell me).

No, to denigrate means to attack the reputation or importance of another, usually in an unfair manner. It's more negative than mere criticism.


Thanks.
