I'll call out when some snobby twit tries to make folks feel inferior for daring to participate in book-talk when they listened to an audiobook. There is no basis for it....none at all.

Some of us like to think that education is an ongoing process, not something that stops once formal schooling ends.
Maybe in the future you could try to make your points without the insults and extreme defensiveness.
If I were to read Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, would I get the same experience as I do if I listen to a recording of it? Of course not--the speech was written to be spoken aloud. Conversely, a book is written to be read, not performed. Listening and reading are not the same thing.
