Legend has it he had a running feud going with Leonardo da Vinci. It appears to be at least partly true. Michaelangelo, gay or not, was reputedly very difficult to get along with.
My understanding as well, Loki. I think geniuses are often really difficult to get along with. My husband is sometimes impossible.
Perhaps that dictum applies to me: I am super-easy to get along with and most people find me laid back and affable. Suffice it to say history will not be remembering me as a genius.
