Why not just ignore questions like that, though? I think that would be the polite thing to do. Nobody's asking him to give a thoughtful response to everything. I just think it's in bad taste to make fun of your fans.

I'm sure he does ignore questions like that, because again, he probably receives hundreds of questions per day, but only answers a small handful. Choosing to answer the occasional dumb question makes sense because it might actually help cut down on the amount of people who ask it. At any given time, there'll be a significant number of newbies stumbling onto Gaiman's work, his blog, etc. Reminding people that some of the really common questions have already been answered is a good idea.

Gently reminding people that they can and should put in minimal effort to answer their own questions is not "making fun of fans". Especially when the second fan "just wanted to hear from [him]" and was asking a really, really basic question that she could've found by looking at the Amazon listing for that book. Gaiman made a dad joke and she got her wish. Again, how's that making fun?
