I think what makes this story so different is it lacks the positive take away value of most of the other rush stories we read here. Most people who post their story either do it live (for fun and thrills) or they do a retro story that generally is instructive for future PNMs in some way. This doesn't accomplish either of those goals and I think that is why it feels awkward.
I will be the dissenting voice about the rude member. I have absolutely no trouble believing that aspect of the story. I've witnessed things and heard stories that make that situation seem downright friendly. Perhaps it might not have happened in your chapter, but it does happen. No doubt about it.
