I've never had that problem in any of my classes that I have taught.  Anytime anyone can add info that I don't know, I welcome it.   If  I ever do have people butting in and contradicting me to the point where it was annoying,  I would tend to look at him/her squarely and say "Thanks for your unique and enlightened point of view."  or "My goodness, you know a lot.  Why didn't you volunteer to teach this class?"
