If I had to respond to every self-insertion fic in this list I would 
probably be banned for flooding the ML with flames (even though I never 
flame, I just critique). I will now critique every self-insertion fic 
ever made and all self-insertion fics yet to be made.

Have you ever read a fanfic that you liked?  There are some very reasonably
done SI fics out there, of which I know 2 that will immediately spring to
the minds of many of the readers of fanfics. 

1]  Oh My God, by Brett Handy
2]  Oh My Brother, by Christopher "God-Boy" Angel

In neither of these fics are the characters all-knowing ultra-wise, gifted
with superior insight as to the trials and tribulations of the characters,
or even without their own very human faults or quirks.

<SNIP>  All 
self-insertion fics are the products of minds that are (still) immature.

Most people would tend to recommend that you not issue such sweeping
generalizations.  How many authors of SI fanfics have you met, and gotten to
know well enough to know that they are immature?

I will amend my first question with this further question.  Have you ever
written a fic that has gotten a positive response from anyone else?

I apologize to all offended parties, but I call them as I see them.

I am offended, and refuse your apology.  I have never seen you say anything
nice about any fic without saying at least twice as many negative things in
the same commentary.

Tybalt, I'm sorry, and I do not intend to further inflame this matter, but I
thought his comments demanded a response.
