But this, as I stated before, is the wrong reading of the situation. Both of these are part of the Lockdown! event. It's just that one of them is fan action within the context of the event, and the other is action of someone who's a former writer for the show and is one of the guests of the tweetalong.

It's as if she were to write an article on Daleks and interviewed someone and also took quotes from people writing in and put them in little sidebars. It would be wholly irresponsible to pass off one of the interview quotes as being equivalent to something from someone who wrote in, either by putting it in a sidebar, or by using one of the fans' comments in the body of the text. The article has both, but Cook is smart enough to understand, ostensibly, that there's a difference between the two.
