Does that answer your question? Perhaps you should read the thread before jumping to conclusions like "you can't" or "you don't have a good reason". Because I can and I do.
OANST, have you ever attempted to write a good story? That's a serious question, not a sarcastic one, just to have that clear.
I write stories all the time, right now fanfiction but I also have an entire novel collecting dust somewhere on my harddrive. Point is that both kinds of stories are just as complicated to write. In some cases fanfiction might actually be harder to write because you have to make sure the characters stay true to the standards someone else has set, which IMO can be a lot harder then keep characters in line to standards you came up with yourself.

I can respect it if someone doesn't like a particular kind of story, but to dismiss pretty much everything without even really knowing the kind of effort that went into it and calling it all stealing without imagination, as a writer I take personal offense in that. Do you even have a good position to be shouting the things you are OANST?
