He never got too disruptive, as I recall, and his Dad was good at managing him (as was his sister, who would just whack him sometimes!). It requires a higher tolerance on the part of worship leaders to press ahead, but it's an important thing to do. A little disorder in worship is okay in service to the gospel. What to do with more disorder, I don't know. There's probably a line somewhere, but each congregation is different.
