What I mean is that while there have been many topics that would have
interested me, I stopped going to TLUG because of the heckling.  It is
that heckling that has caused me to skip many potentially interesting
presentations.  I am not going to waste my time getting to and from the
meeting, as well as the meeting time, to listen to a presentation that's
been shredded by heckling.  If you don't see that as a problem then it
makes me suspect you may be one of the hecklers.
