Ateret Paz has a tshuva based on this story. (1,3 CM) . His
conclusion is that this story has different girsaot and Halacha cannot
be learned from it. (although when asked about lashon hara al atzmo it
was the first thing that came to his mind)<br>
Based on other sources the Ateret Paz's conclusion is that one may not
speak "divrei gnai ulashon hara al atzmo"<br>
His concluding proof is the Yevamot 64b, Rav Abba bar Zavda not telling
of his being "akar" (might tie in with the discussion on areivim about
gays evading shadchanim)<br>

.....When the CC said something like, "You must be mistaken,<br>
he isn't much of a talmid chakham or a scholar", the man was enraged and<br>
slapped him. Well, they get to Radun, the guy goes to see the famous CC<br>
and was obviously mortified to learn who he slapped! He cried and begged<br>
mechilah. But the CC said there is no reason for it, the slap was worth<br>
it in order to learn the din that you aren't allowed to speak LH even<br>
about yourself.<br>
