I recall seeing this come through, but anyway, I'd like to say that I wasn't defending *not* using RWD, I'm a big proponent of it, but IIRC there were some replies that eluded to non-responsive sites being "broken" or preventative of users using the site on phones or tablets. I was just saying that in some (and at this point maybe most) cases that's not entirely true.
Again, I'm not saying you shouldn't do mobile-first RWD, but for noobs, saying anything remotely suggesting that if you don't do RWD, you're site won't work on phones, et al, is misleading.
