I had a local from Block Island really scream at me at the landfill one time because I did not separate my trash correctly - I've had a bunch of experiences with locals that were negative, on Block, in Naragansett, The Vineyard.
If you let it get to you - you won't go again - and that is just what they are hoping will happen. You just have to learn to compartmentalize the people who live near where you want to fish and not let it ruin your appreciation of a place. They are under the illusion that because they live there - they own it. Willa Cather wrote that, "We come and go but the land is always here, and the people who love it and understand it are the ones who own it - for a little while."
