 From Google search:

heck·le
ˈhekəl/
verb
     1. interrupt (a public speaker) with derisive or aggressive 
comments or abuse.

Now. The correct definition in mind, we have _not_, to the best of my 
knowledge, had a heckling issue at a GTALUG meeting.

That Said!

We do have a couple of wilful folks that like to voice their opinions in 
_relation_ to the subject. This can be overwhelming for many speakers 
and has in the past lead to significant tangents. I do a agree that we 
need to be more mindful of this tendency and moderate appropriately in 
concern with the sprite of our code of conduct.
