Has anyone heard of a Cirrus going down because it flew into icing
conditions?

Yes. There have been at least seven incidents in which icing was a factor,
according to the NTSB.

Icing conditions are most often found in IMC -- does any pilot among
us rated for IFR take his SEL into known icing conditions?

Does any pilot here fall for the marketing spiel that Cirrus maintains?

We have here someone with no known real world training in the art
offering his insights: humor him if you like, but there is no
evidence, at least none that I remember, that when confronted with
factual information that is in opposition to his views that he changed
his views.

If you spent as much time as I have looking at the accident database, instead
of wasting time on the formulation of petty personal attacks, you'd have the
same evidence I have.

My comment and questions were actually directed to pilots. I rarely
respond directly to trolls.
