I think if someone is being a blatant distraction, then asking them to alter their behavior or asking that they relocate to somewhere less visible in the building for the good of the body is an acceptable thing if it is done in love. I think Paul describes this in I Corinthians when he is talking about the use of spiritual gifts that are not for the edification of the body.
I think there also should be some level of grace when someone is worshiping in the only way they know how and an effort should be made to move past that which is distracting by the rest of the body. The goal is unity in worship, not fitting the service into a nice neat package that we have envisioned in our minds.

What about a family with a special needs child who sometimes blurts out loud sounds? What should they do? Are they banished to a cry room forever? or babysitting? or separate worship?
