I'm curious why you are posting on this now. This was back in the fall of 2007. I don't see her talking crap at all about fansites. She's always been a huge supporter of the fan sites.
The main issue lies in the fact that she had announced back when book 7 came out that she would be writing a lexicon, and, seeing as how that universe is her intellectual copywrited-protected property, she has say whether or not it is ok for someone else to publish one before she has a chance to.
It really boils down to an issue of keeping others from stealing ideas that are rightfully yours.
