This is just a hunch on my part, but I think that many of those who think that reviews of professional authors is okay but reviews of fanfic author aren't think along these lines: for a professional author their writing is payed work, and when you get payed for your work you have to put up with being harped on by your customers (the readers, in this case), but a fanfic writer is like a volunteer, and harping on a volunteer in mean.
