this is a bit much but i also don’t understand the mentality of once a person is dead- they were saints.

I don't know: There may good reasons against this practice (of refraining from saying anything adverse against the deceased), but there are at least two obvious reasons for this practice:

1. The deceased is unable to defend himself; it is inherently unfair to attack an opponent who is unable to defend himself.

2. Subconscious superstitious belief that the deceased could somehow "avenge" himself.

Regards,
