It's very easy to avoid getting criticized in your obituary, don't be an asshole.

If you devote your life to being an asshole, the civilized response gloves will come off and maybe more people should learn this lesson.

The implication is that you are attacking the defenseless. There is none more defenseless than the dead.

No one cares less about defending themselves being attacked than the dead.

Not true.

1. Plenty of living people defend the reputations of dead people.

2. There's no proof that anything we say or do has any impact on dead people.

Well, if you think of person as a bunch of ideas, maybe with a mind attached, then by attacking a dead person you're attacking a bunch of vulnerable ideas that no longer have a mind to defend them. You can still call it a person, if you like.

No thanks, because a person is not a group of ideas + a mind.

You didn't say what you mean, so I'll guess you mean souls, and you didn't say it because you're embarrassed.
