What on earth makes you think that she would like to go after critics for quoting her works? Do you know her personally? Has she said as much anywhere? I think it's rather a stretch to start assuming you know the feelings of strangers. As for the lexicon, I thought her main criticism had been that a very large portion of the text on that site is actually direct quotes from her books, a higher portion than allowed by fair use.
