Don't bother. Those of us who like the Cape are not like OP, thankfully. Does OP seem happy to you?

Do happy, mature, well adjusted people start threads like this one, and go on and on, as if their life depended on it? C'mon.

OP is a poor troll, and I am shocked that this tread has not been not locked or deleted.

Absurd.

I would normally leave threads like this well enough alone since I am not a beach person, have never been to Cape Cod, and really don't care about the shark population. But, since you have taken to repeatedly reporting posts from this thread, while also repeatedly calling other posters "trolls", I am going to weigh in. Let's look at the original post of this thread:

Based on my one trip there, I will say, that I found Cape Cod to be:

Way too expensive. (10K for a small house in Chatham)
Beautiful.
Water too cold to swim in.
Snooty. My snootiest Aunt goes every year. Preppy heaven.
Too far from DC for me to visit regularly.

What do you think about Cape Cod?

What about this post has infuriated you so much that you have repeatedly asked for the thread to be removed? Is Cape Cod expensive? That is a subjective issue, but if OP thinks it is, what does it matter to you? Is it beautiful? I assume that you agree that it is. Is the water cold? That is also a matter of opinion and may actually be considered a benefit by some people. Is OP's Aunt snooty? Perhaps, but I agree that OP is wrong to stereotype the entire population based on a single person. Too far from DC? Another subjective factor but it does seem pretty far to me. So, this comes down to one item which which you likely you agree, three subjective matters of opinion, and one unfair generalization. If this is a troll post, it is one of the laziest efforts I've ever encountered.

Rather than taking screenshots (for what purpose I haven't a clue), claiming that you are being defamed (despite that nobody knows who you are), and obviously getting your blood pressure raised to unsafe levels, maybe you should just ignore this thread? Trust me, Cape Cod will survive a few DCUMers' concerns about the water temperature and number of sharks. Your defense is not required.

OP sounds like she has a problem. If she has a chip on her shoulder about (insert trolling item here) - maybe she should examine that, instead. People are defensive about where they are from, especially if they are from a beautiful place. For those not from a beautiful place, and maybe lacking other healthy outlets, why attack where others are from? Strikes me as sad. There are places all over that have (insert trolling item here) - but OP (who is obviously fixated on calling other people crazy) doesn't seem to want to hear about reality and perspective, just her fixated points.

To add, no one said they are being defamed. You seem not that different than OP, Jeff.

I expected more.

LOTS of projection right there. Time for a little self-reflection.

My apologies. You are correct. You didn't say that you were being defamed, but rather that you were being harassed. Here is the exact report that you sent:

"I am feeling harassed at this point, and am taking screen shots. Thank you."

If you think that your posts are doing anything to discredit the suggestion that you are a bit wacko, I regret to inform you that you are mistaken.

Look, Lady: there are dozens of posters here. The OP didn’t call you crazy...I did. I’m one of the multiple posters who isn’t the OP btw referencing the Crazy Cape Cod Lady (that’s you, BTW...you are the CCCL).

Why can’t you understand that CC isn’t everyone’s cup of tea? Different strokes for different folks.

Guess what? I can’t stand SF and I’ve always thought nyc was overrated. I think London and Chicago are much more fun, personally. Note I said personally; I fully understand that others prefer SF and NYC.

This thread is soliciting opinions about CC. It’s not a personal attack on you. It’s very weird that you feel compelled to convert everyone to CC lovers. Most people try to dissuade others from crowding their favorite vacation spot. I stand by my prior comment pondering if you are a hired hand to lobby for the local land-shark industry.

Lastly: does the fact that much of this thread is peppered with jokes escape you?

Thursday. A great white was spotted this Thursday and they pulled everyone out of the water.

Google pulls up stark warnings for the Cape this week (the entire first page of the search is exclusively warnings issued this week).

How can you deny the issue? Quite befuddling.

And I thought climate change deniers were the worst...until I came across Shark-Denier Suzy! Or is this Crazy Cape Cod Lady, the covert land-shark lobbyist?

Dennis is on the Cape Cod Bay on the opposite side of the Cape from Chatham and Monomoy and south and west of Wellfleet and Ptown. If there are sharks there, they are everywhere!

Thank you for continuing to inject precisely the kind of witty humor most dcum addicts appreciate, Jeff.

If you could point out what you call "jokes" I would appreciate it.

I am being more calm than anyone here (and I happen to have low blood pressure, Jeff - since you felt the need to mention it), yet the need to pile it on is puzzling. Especially since there are sharks in many areas - there are at least (3) articles upthread about North Carolina, in particular - and the different breeds of sharks the North Carolina area attracts, but OP and her buddies keep chiming in - like a playground game.

I think my sense of humor is "slightly" different than OP attacking with random information OP tries to sell as fact - and is now trying to sell as a "joke". Interesting. I don't think my being more sophisticated than OP (based on her posts) means I don't have a sense of humor. Maybe OP is just full of it, and simply not funny or accurate, which is fine.

OP's buddy: How would you feel if someone criticized podunk with insufficient information trying to pass as "facts"? And saying that (where you are from) is (insert OP's hyperbole here).

In related news, at approximately 12:15 this afternoon, a great white shark, concerned that it’s existence was being questioned, surfaced at the Head of the Meadow beach near Truro, Cape Cod. Notwithstanding protests from some bathers, the shark’s request to close the beach to swimmers was granted.

I hate to even think about which sites have any interest in screen shots documenting a debate about sharks in Cape Cod. But, if any such sites exist, I am sure they can only be improved by our posts. I'm glad to see this additional evidence that you actually have a life.
