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

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

No one is less tolerant of attacks than the dead.
