Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio

So why should I care if our hobby is "ridiculed", and who says that's even the case? I'm not in this for anyone but myself and my love of music. I trust my ears, I like what I like, and could care less what people think about it.

What! Whoa!! Hey, what did you do with the Kostco-emoji with the sense of humor. Oh, I forgot. There isn't one. Oh, well, rant on, sweet pea. 😡

To invent a side that doesn't exist to justify a stance so one can stand on their soapbox and say it with a straight face is sad, indeed. 
You're getting way too worked up about this.
