(And by that, I mean actual OCD. Not people who go “I’m a bit OCD, me”, when they mean fussy or something. Actual OCD is a fucker to live with, like fighting your brain when it creeps in for another takeover attempt. Nasty shit.)

Well…(pains me to say this)but some people on social media are just not very well. And they lash out.
That’s the kindest interpretation I can put on this.

Sorry you’ve received that. You’re right to RT it. They’re not helping their cause, if that is their aim which I doubt.
