Better to leave that crap for fools like me.

How many people on this board do you think know what "denigrating" actually means?
Do you think that maybe they only have a clue by comparing the context of your post and therby assume that it must mean something other than complimentary?
Then again, inserting the phrase "by berating the guy" instead of denigrating would just confuse the masses as well.
Might as well leave it alone.
