ParanoidObsessive 11/14/19 2:36:58 PM #19:	Lokarin posted... I don't believe in any supernatural retribution from the dead, but I do believe that the dead are held in high regard by their closest living friends so even the slightest ill-speak can cause problems. This is a pretty good summation. The main reason for not speaking ill of the dead was so that the dead wouldn't come back and haunt your ass. It's sort of the same vein as to why you weren't supposed to talk bad about fairies (and it's why they're called The Fair Folk in the first place, which is a deliberate lie). You'd either emphasize the good parts and kind of ignore the bad parts (or totally lie, or not talk about them at all) so that the ghosts and fairies and other things that go bump in the night wouldn't come to screw with you out of revenge for badmouthing them. That being said, I don't really believe in ghosts or the supernatural in general, so the dead can go fuck themselves. If you were an asshole while alive, you're still an asshole even after you die. You don't get to retroactively clear your accounts of all negatives just because you're dead. THAT being said, I'm not a total piece of shit either, and I have at least something resembling empathy in my brain, so I'm not going to walk up to friends or family of someone who's dead and be all like "Hey, your dead loved one was an asshole. I'm glad he's dead and I hope he's rotting in hell." Generally speaking, if someone feels the need to specifically ask my opinion of someone who's dead I won't necessarily sugar-coat it, but I don't go out of my way to rant about how terrible a person someone was for no real reason just because it makes me feel morally superior. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:930132834] in Do you bel...
