This isn't so much about people disagreeing with your opinion... because of the nature of the group the discussion can get personal, and -- after one incident which ended up with two people leaving -- we set it up. In that instance it related to part of a person's history which he hadn't really shared before, so we had no way of knowing it was eating at him until he exploded. Interestingly, he's not the one who left; the two people who upset him did.
In practice, since we have it, it's never been used. It's just a "norm" so that a similar situation doesn't get out of control in future. We also "check in" at the beginning of the session to let people know what "threat level" we're at and take that into account as the conversation unfolds.
