I find it distracting and it affects my enjoyment to see people dancing poorly - should all the non-professional dancers be asked to leave because they deprive me of my enjoyment?
I find my enjoyment of the entertainment considerably lessened by seeing unattractive old people on the dance floor - should it be a requirement that you have to be young and fit to dance at the squares because otherwise someone is deprived of their enjoyment?
People talking behind me or walking in front of me while fetching their drinks detracts from my enjoyment - can anyone practicing those behaviors be kicked out?
I don't know where the line is that separates uncommon behavior and disruptive behavior or if legally there is one. I haven't seen this individual in several months so perhaps his behavior has changed but to me it did not seem disruptive last fall. Of course, without a legal definition, "disruptive" becomes very subjective and as a society we've become very intolerant of those who are not like us.

Intolerant for sure ! What are we to, "hide away" individuals with disabilities that make US feel uncomfortable ? That's what I found when on a professorial exchange in China. Asperger's, Tourette's, mandibulofacial dysostosis, cerebral palsy, paraplegia, and many other conditions seem to make those fortunate enough to have no such affliction, very uncomfortable. But why people go further into intolerance, and even to the point of cruelty in some cases, is perplexing. Perhaps (?) they are considered children of a lesser god ? Anyone remember that movie ? Or Cher in the film The Mask ? Showing the pain a mother endures just trying to give her son with mandibulofacial dysostosis a normal life. Very upsetting also is the assumption so many make, that such individuals are also mentally "deficient" ! ! !
