i don't think there is an audiophile attitude, rather there are ways of selling expensive depreciable assets, such as cars, boats, tvs, furniture, etc.
some people are supercilious, opinionated, and mean. it's a matter of personality and is not unique to audio.
i would not single out audio as a hobby that is conducive to rudeness .
what you call an "attitude" has no correlation to a representative of a sub group of the population.
what is to be gained by highlighting the boorish behavior of human beings?
rather than being critical, as we all have faults, it's more useful to cite the positive experiences associated with our hobby.
