oh so glad you posted your concern. at my home group if a person is over emotional or antagonist or disrupting the meeting a person who has been sober for some time is to take that person aside from the meeting itself. it's not being unkind. it is to one-on-one help that person and also not break the continuity of the meeting for others that are composed. sometimes the chairperson doesn't have enough sober time and that's when the disturbance is not attended to in a constructive way for all there. sounds like that meeting was out of control. perhaps a meeting outside of that environment with a more acceptable formal approach will encourage you to attend AA.
i hope this reply can help you and reassure you that this meeting's occurances are not the AA way, imho.
