Not personally, but different methods work on different people. When we consider the way in which critical text proponents deal with the TR in such a heavy handed manner (much like evolution teachers with respect to creation), why should such offence be taken against TR proponents calling it as they see it?
Why are critical text advocates so easily ruffled by TR defences, seeing it is such a still small voice? Their reaction suggests the TR polemic strikes at a nerve. Is there an inherent uneasiness about the position when brought into the realm of faith? It appears so. Note the responses. It comes down to this -- they dislike the suggestion that this is a matter which God himself has determined in His word.

A good observation, one that would be true in all fields of teaching. 2 Tim. 2:24, "Apt to teach, patient." Blessings!
