And it's rumored that he was either asexual or gay. Should we follow these lifestyles too because he was so friggin' smart? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Do you dismiss his intelligence because he may have been gay or asexual?

WTF? I knew I should of put a disclaimer at the end.
I think you missed my point. The OP is taking different subjects ("intelligence" vs. lifestyle choice) and relating them. He's basically saying that because Da Vinci was brilliant that his way of living must be correct because he's so brilliant - which is rarely the case. If you look at brilliant people in history they're often some messed up people emotionally or in relationships (not that I am saying anything's wrong with being gay).
I guess I should have made my point clearer but I was just trying to make the point about the separation between the two subjects.
