[Avodah] honest emotions

[saul newman via Avodah]

in a review of a memoir r pinchas hirshprung wrote in the 40's , the
Mishpacha article notes that he was discouraged by some talmidei chachamim
to write this way since 'honest emotional writing is demeaning to a talmid
chacham'

question ---  1] is honesty demeaning ?  2] is being emotional demeaning?
 3] is this specifically a Litvishe mehalech ?
