Moderator 29, the “tale” which needs to be “looked into” is the one about the Chofetz Chaim, and (assuming that it did in fact happen) whether it truly means that it is Assur to speak LH about yourself. As noted above in this thread, I think the story proves that it is Muttar (even if, as was mentioned in the Disagree With The CC thread, it’s not a good idea). If it were really Assur, I have a hard time believing that this, alone among all of Hilchos Lashon Hara, would have slipped the attention of the CC.
I would have posted this on that thread, but it was closed.
