There IS a difference between using the method to teach a receptive learner who wants to understand the logic of the topic, and using it to try to change someone's mind. Socrates did make many enemies because he was often trying to change people's minds about strong beliefs they held dear. People tend not to like that and to resist any logic that leads to a contradiction of their beliefs. But that is true even if you present your case as an article, essay, or lecture that has no questions.
