Why do people hate BNFs?

icarusI really don't understand this BNF phenomenon. I just don't get it.
I don't see why people go "whee, Icarus!" when they find out their review or whatever is from me. I understand "whee, Stories!" -- or -- "whee, Icarus' Stories!" That makes sense to me, because this is all about the stories, all about the fun of writing. If you've liked something I wrote in the past, there's good chance you'll like the next one. I'm the same way about "whee, Candy!"
But I don't know why the focus shifts from the story to the person. What the hell...?
