Default tps sensor question

Does green slime or other types of tire sealant ruin the tps sensors? Are any of you running green slim?

First, from the Owner's Manual:

Notice:

Liquid tire sealants could damage the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors. Sensor damage caused by using a tire sealant is not covered by your warranty. Do not use liquid tire sealants.

Some say they don't care about the sensors and will use the Slime if they have to. Some just plain don't care. Most follow the advice in the manual and don't use it.

Just a couple prior discussions if you're interested:

The Slime bottle says it is safe for TPMS sensors because it is water soluble and can be washed off. Here's the link on their web page:
