Would you feel I should have just joined with traffic
for the shorter runway?

I would have been very unhappy with the situation you describe. I stay
away from two-runway airports for just that reason!

Thanks for your feedback, Dan. That's exactly why I posted.

Um -- but actually, isn't every airport a two-runway airport?

My personal nightmare scenario is an airport with left
traffic for one runway, right traffic for another. The
wind is calm or almost directly across, or else one pilot
decides to land or takeoff downwind for personal reasons.

That's not too bad if his plan is to take off and "get out
of Dodge Cowboy" but then for whatever reason he decides
to go around the patch.

Yipers!
