I definitely agree. It also can help pump up the performer.
Actually, there's what my friends term "Calls" and then there's
otagei. There is some cross over between them (Calls typically have
PPPH, chants and some times mawari or spinning around), but generally
are not considered the same. Usually otagei will have the more wild
movements.

This is generally what gets others mad; bumping into those that aren't
so into it. It's usually a problem when there's not enough room to do
it; the respectful otagei practioners retreat to the back if possible;
if not, they scale it way back or just don't do it. The ones that just
do it regardless are the ones that cause fights to break out. It's not
the noise (because people who are cheering more normally make noise,
too), but the bumping into others, not reading the atmosphere, etc.
that causes the fist fights and whatnot.
