LH includes harmful speech, so if it would lower his target audience's
estimation of the maggid shiur, I would think the CC prohibits.

What if the rav himself would be embarassed, but you AND the general
audience consider it neutral?
And if you and they consider it positive?

I thought I saw this case in the CC, but searching the seifer
electronically didn't turn anything up.

And, if in the previous question, you consider it prohibited to
repeat something you and the listener (and his potential listeners)
would consider a compliment but the person would be embarassed because
it's not how he wants to be thought of -- what if he would be embarassed
because it's a compliment?
