I completely agree. Just last week I was saying to a friend how if we say the deceased, “were just the best/nicest/friendliest, etc.” it minimizes the truly great people.
I was trying to make a joke and couldn’t come up with anything better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just want to point out that “speak no ill of the dead” is a fucking stupid idea, and nobody should ever say that phrase.
People should be remembered for what they did and who they were, even if (or maybe especially) they were bad.
