They are trying to communicate several things, among which: unability to 
understand you as acting rationally (which means not all points and 
reasoning behind your actions is clear)… and anger, as last time someone 
tried to frame that as something else, they got corrected, so I guess the 
emotional content is considered important as well…

But “you are sick” is unkind communication indeed, don’t feel not 
listened, you are understood on this point.
