Well, how you treat people does count for something.  You will find that 
any human community, not just the local music scene, is easier to 
navigate if you don't start from an adversarial position.  I don't know 
about more important, but, yes, it is important.  Insulting people's 
intelligence is a proven way not to persuade them of your point of view.

The substance of your argument, however, above and beyond the way you 
choose to present it, is, as others have pointed, myopic and narrow, 
since you seem to be incapable of understanding or acknowledging that 
intelligent, reasonable people might make individual choices that differ 
from your own regarding their music consumption.  In both form and 
substance your argument is immature and unreasonable, and your 
participation has turned a reasonable discussion among mature adults 
into something else entirely.
