I beg your pardon? Oh, right, there is something false about them:
Asperse is to attack with evil reports or false or injurious charges. Calumniate is to to utter maliciously false statements, charges, or imputations about.
I don't know, they may not necessarily imply danger, but to me they have a sense of warning, and certainly the idea of going too far. Works in my head! I felt that "perhaps more than is warranted" is fundamental to the question.
