If you want a good example of the heckler's veto being used, you can reference recent acts at Yale & Stanford of invited speakers unable to speak because of egregious disruptions

In the first article there's a lot of agonising but if the majority response to Duncan's speech was poor even when he wasn't being heckled is this not just a case of him being deeply unpopular?

He was invited to speak, surely no one promised him the audience would be supportive?
