The arrogance is implying that reading is always better than listening. Saying that listening isn't really reading. While I definitely prefer text (ebook or paper), I know other brains work differently. Some crafters talk about concentrating better on an audiobook while doing something with their hands (knitting, spinning, crocheting, etc.) than they would reading the text. And even I find some things easier to take in when heard out loud, like poetry.
I don't get the love for smell or feel of print books. My love of print books is purely as visual objects. Enjoy your petting and sniffing; I just wanna gaze at them.
I also found the description of these forums as harsh amusing. Maybe I've never really been on the receiving end of it here, but I've definitely seen more brutal behavior in other places online (and in person when I was a kid in school).
