This does sound unpleasantly as if you think that only *your*
definition
of a True Fan is allowed to enjoy all the pleasures of fandom.
No, what it sounds like is a *question.* I did not say that I thought that nobody should be allowed or not allowed to buy a script if that's what
they
want to spend their money on, I *expressed surprise* that somebody who didn't know who Chris Boucher was would want to buy his script. Somebody
who
didn't know who he was *might* want to buy it of course, all things are possible, but I was expressing the opinion that this was unlikely.
Let's go back to what Judith originally said: "Chris Boucher just asked me to pass on that he'll be selling various items via e-bay in the near future. I don't know what items he has in mind, though I imagine it's probably his remaining copies of scripts from various shows. "
A newbie who's never heard of CB (as two people have publicly admitted, and I know one of them saw at least some of the series way back when it was first broadcast) might wonder what the hell that message above has got to do with B7. Judith's explanatory PS would have clarified matters, and if this particular newbie was into collecting memorabilia, then s/he might have cause to sit up and take notice. A chance of getting a real B7 script! Not something to pass over lightly, whoever this Boucher fellow might be.
So I think Judith's PS was perfectly justified, and didn't warrant the sarcastic response it got. Not the sarcasm per se, just this particular instance of it. Judith was only trying to be helpful, and with good reason given that not everyone here knows their B7 inside out.
