Were judged by are actions and what we did in life. Dieing does not make you a better person.

Who even came up with this 'don't speak ill of the dead' bullshit? If someone was an awful person, then they were an awful person and everybody should criticize them for it if they want to.
What does them being dead change? The family will be sad? Well boo hoo, should have cut ties with the fucker when he was sentencing innocent children to death. Pretty sure their families are even sadder.
From my understanding, it's more of a tradition, or a rule of thumb, than a capital offense.
Kind of a way of saying well: that's that.
I don't think you're supposed to white wash assholes, just don't marinate in it now that it's less important.
Of course, you don't denigrate yourself or others for the dead, but carrying their water would be real dumb too.
