Do you want to know how many ticks per instance of biting sarcasm you displayed? So go away and let me reorganize this or that right now!"

Wow. Okay, I see what happened here. In one of your posts replying to me, you stated...

@CWatkinsNash. Yes, "my OCD."

...quoting my reference to my OCD. Then Kali comes along and says...

Then again, I don't have OCD.

I suggest you stop fixating on unimportant aspects and just read.

...leading to wvcherrybomb telling Kali that it's unhelpful to tell someone with OCD to just get over it.
You seem to have assumed it was directed at Kali's comments to you, but I got the feeling it was more about the overall statement due to the fact that there are people with OCD on the forum.
If you don't have OCD, you could have simply said "Apparently there's been a misunderstanding. I don't have OCD." or whatever. "OCD" gets tossed around a lot by people who actually mean "I'm picky about ____", and for the most part it stopped bothering me long ago. But the implication that people with OCD walk around counting everything borders on ridicule. I don't believe you intended it that way, but it comes across negatively. OCD is a complicated disorder that manifests in many different ways and for different reasons. A large number of us manage it quite well. I'm certainly not a "counter" - I don't like math.
