A few people you've met with OCD is not entirely an accurate reflection of the population of those with OCD. And those with OCD are nothing close to an accurate reflection of those with mental illnesses in general, and it was that group, people with mental illness in general that the sub-discussion was made about in the first place.
The reason I found the Ra Material is because of my many, many years of (intense) interaction with the mentally ill. As a result of this experience I have dedicated the last 4 years of my life studying mental illness and psychology (and I will continue to study the mind until I die), so yes, to answer your question. It's also pretty funny cos you tried to correct Rie, she knows her shi*t about this stuff, I learn a lot from her and you could to.
I'm sorry if my dismissal of your claim seemed harsh but the anecdotal evidence, irrelevancy, glaring holes in logic, cherry picked constituent of a broad topic as if it was the topic itself and "no u" response sort of made me feel like I should respond and apparently I just sound harsh through text.
And finally it would be good to note Rie's statement above that generalizations about mental health are best avoided because it is a complex and interwoven topic, not to mention huge.
