Ok, my edits to Aelred's Wikipedia page have survived so far. I added the personal harassment to the "life" section, and the "sexuality" section is no longer just a blatant reactionary hit piece against Boswell.

I'll try and let these edits settle for a while before I move on to "do you realize how infamous a medieval man's sexual reputation would have to be for people to remember it after he was dead"
