I haven't kept up with all the posts either, but I have come across some that are in this vein.
look at the Ron and Hermione thread, for instance.

People have said that JKR doesn't understand human sexuality, that there is something hard in her that makes her shy away from writing romance, and so on. I have also seen a post on a different topic where the poster casually mentions JKR's lack of moral values!!  Such comments do cross the line.

And even though there hasn't been anything like "JKR stole my idea", there have been posts where people complain that everything had been guessed before the book came out.  IMO, that is to be expected, you can't be completely in the dark if you read the guesses made by the 30,000+ people on this list.  Here's one of those posts..

I think Lisa/Shanti was justified in starting this thread. For one thing, I haven't seen any objectionable personal criticism of JKR after her post.
