The article did come off condescending. The next article or two that I read on her page were all about her on LuLu or something.
Last I checked, LuLu produced more dreck than NaNo...and people actually think they can get $40 for the man milk cook book (seriously - it was in their top sellers for a while) and some other....interesting media.
Not to say that LuLu is all bad. There's been some pretty decent success stories and indies that came out of there (Jeremy Robinson comes to mind)

She's one of those sneering, snide, holier-than-thou writers who goes against the entire spirit of indie media. I don't care if those people who took part in NaNo wrote 1 word or eight hundred thousand, it's a fantasic opportunity to do something creative, to get over the fears of writing and, lets face it, just hang out with other people who enjoy writing too. We're entering a golden age of writing at the moment, all the barriers are falling down in front of us, who wouldn't want to be part of all that
Who wouldn't celebrate that?
