Henk has it right. Just letting you know there's an outside chance it may refer to someone other than the guy who wrote it, since there's no explicit object.

Don't piss me off
Sorry about the rude words, but that's how it is intended by the writer.
Okoru = to get angry
-aseru - causative suffix, turning it into 'make(someone) angry. The final -na is an abrupt 'Don't' imperative. Literally, therefore, it translates as 'Dont make me angry', however, in this form it comes across as quite aggressive, which is best reflected in the above rendition.
