How does speaking the truth about someone, alive or dead, make that person a dick head?
Everyone becomes a saint after they die. They may have beaten their wife and kids, kicked every dog that crossed their path, had multiple affairs, stole from their parents, etc, but once they kick it, you're no longer allowed to say one bad word about them. BS
If someone is a dick when they're alive, they're still a dick when they're dead. The only difference is they can't be a dick anymore.
