I wasn't angry at you so much as angry that people in general think that that kind of level is acceptable. I don't really blame anyone for wanting to make their self-insert strong, as that's become part of the self-insert niche, but there's a big difference between "strong" and "so brokenly overpowered that any conflicts are solved by the mere existence of this character".

In case you couldn't tell, the latter doesn't really allow for a story to logically exist, and ends up causing so many plotholes that the story may as well be a block of swiss cheese that's been through one too many shootouts. And nobody wants to read a block of swiss cheese. Cheese is for eating, not reading.
