I used to follow a writer of original fiction who was like this--her work was Better! Than! Everyone's, so clearly publishers were stupid for not publishing it. And test readers were stupid for pointing out flaws. And editors she hired to help her were stupid for seeing things she could fix.

Her work read like promising first drafts that she refused to improve, and she wailed and ranted CONSTANTLY about how unfair it was that other, lesser writers (EVERYONE) had success when she should be world-famous, and she flatly refused to accept help, consider she still had anything to learn, or think of the possibility anyone else in the world might know a crappy story when she asked them to read it.

For a while she was a horrific but amusing cautionary tale, then the combination of her pain and her arrogance got to me and I just quit reading her blog. I did find out she got a book published by a small publisher and I think finally self-published another couple. She leaves glowing reviews for herself (under her other pen name) on Goodreads and complains about the lack of reviews and purchases otherwise, so little has changed.

If the fic writers you refer to are like her, I'd block them, too. It's soul-sucking.
