I think you would have gotten a different response if you had said that skimming is an option that you enjoy, instead of outright stating that skipping and skimming is one of the most important skills you need to be a reader. I don't care if you skim stuff, but I don't unless it's a reread and I don't remotely agree that everyone needs to learn to skip over parts of books. I don't think most readers are skipping sections of books. Everyone can read in their own way so there's nothing wrong with skimming - but there's nothing wrong with not skipping anything either.
