I was - in fact I just yesterday received a long letter from the Tolkien Estate solicitors telling me in no uncertain terms to stop the sniping (well, actually, the letter was about half a page long, but appended to it was a 50,000 word commentary on it by Christopher Tolkien, a short essay on the etymology of 'sniping' & a photo of a wild boar named Clive).
Fortunately, just this morning I received a revised letter in which the emphatic 'Do not snipe at Christopher Tolkien' was changed to the milder 'You need not snipe at Christopher Tolkien'.
