Not really a pedants' corner thing, but....

.... all you clever people might be able to help me find the words I am looking for.

If someone lies and says you have been unwilling to do something, what is their intent? As well as discredit, what other good words are there? I'm thinking in terms of libel here.

Thanks in anticipation!

Misrepresent?
Undermine?

Um, discredit sounds the most appropriate word really.

They are being disingenuous, I'd say.

Does it?

I like undermine too. I'm after as many libellous words as possible!

Disingenuous - like this very much also. All these words will be slotted in. Thank you
