Heckling is a good word.  I haven't been to TLUG in a long time but I do have 
vivid recollections of the peanut gallery. I recall a presentation by an RCMP 
officer who was constantly getting cut off, most often the heckling got 
loudest around the most relevant and interesting parts of the presentation, 
the point often getting lost or forgotten.

If you make it to the newtlug meetings, you will find them significantly more 
civil, productive and useful.

As for rescuing a presentation I'd think some polite attempts to quiet the 
rowdies should work, if not STFU might get through to them.
