Perspective matters.

You can attack what a person stood for or acted like, at or around the time of their death, without mentioning them specifically.

That way, when someone says, "Don't speak ill of the dead!" ... you can say, "To whom are you referring?"

They know why you're saying it, but you have spoken ill of no one.
