If you make sure all the sealer is removed *before* you slap the wrench down onto the plug to remove it, there's no way any is going to get into the cylinder.
However, I think I'd use dielectric grease before I'd use RTV.

Never thought of this or even heard of it. Is this a good idea, anybody? Seems like you'd run the risk of the sealant getting into the cylinder next time you changed plugs. Don't even know if that would be a serious problem as it would probably burn off...but it couldn't be good...at least foul a new plug. But it is worth considering.
Yea, the only reason I wouldn't do that - It's a PITA to remove the next time around. You'll be cusin yourself or whom-ever gave you that bright idea
Use dielectric
