especially longwinded in their question/comment while I as a politician was holding a Town Hall event, I would look into investing in a watch that had a capability similar to a stop watch and hit the button and let the heckler or constituent vent. Completely. Then when they finally stopped or pause I would say "are you finished?" Getting a reply I would hit the stop button and then say: "You had X minutes to make your point~ I timed it( holding up my watch to show them)...here is my response to you"
I think it would show the other people present that fairness was at the core of these meetings - while they, the hecklers, were being rude or uninformed
