A Nasi (or a judge) can forgo honor due to him, but cannot nullify a curse uttered against him. Hence the reviler is punished even if the Nasi pardons him.* * Shoftim, Hilchoth Sanhedrin XXVI, 6
Whoever reviles the sages will have no portion in the World to Come.* * Mada, Hilchoth Talmud Torah VI, 11
