Brainstorming possible reasons off the top of my head:
The fact that I can brainstorm possible reasons doesn’t imply that I know the reason. Asking people for the reasons of their actions is helpful for having rational discourse.
Fair enough. (Based on the curtness of your question, I’d thought there was a good chance it was rhetorical, or that you truly couldn’t think of an answer to it.)

Brainstorming possible reasons off the top of my head:
attempting to compensate for bad feelings left by the article, by soliciting sympathy/agreement/commiseration about how the article’s crap
similarly but more broadly, initiating a round of social bonding based on booing the article (and/or Steve Fuller)
making a conveniently Google-able note of the article for future personal reference
publicly warning the rest of us of a bad article which might call for a response
contributing to LW’s collective memory (in case e.g. a broader discussion of Steve Fuller’s work kicks off here in future)
