I just don't get it

Yeah, I don't get the whole "don't speak ill of the dead" thing. Why are we supposed to ignore all the horrible things someone did and start complimenting them the second they pass away? (Not just with Charlie but with everyone.)

@NerdyPotato That is a really old school mentality because the dead can no longer defend themselves.

Which, who cares. They should have been heavily challenged in life. These days, most are and still show they are garbage. Especially today where every website is a platform to speak freely.

If I thought someone was horrible in life, I'm not gonna stop just because they're dead. Just ask my mom about my thoughts on my grandma for proof.
@FoxyQueen yeah, so what if they can't defend themselves? I wouldn't be talking badly about them if they weren't a horrible person. They made their choice during their lifetime.

@FoxyQueen @NerdyPotato "Don't speak ill of the dead"

**Enter Jimmy Savile**

Yeah, don't speak ill of the dead now... I hid my crimes when I was alive.
@NerdyPotato because we should not judge anyone for anything even if they did do something wrong it's only the place of our creator to judge. We shouldn't even judge ourselves.

Also... I am completely aware that this is almost impossible to do
@AbsolutelyFabulous I don't believe in nature's judgment that strongly. I think we need to hold each other accountable.
