If you're a dick for a reason, you're still being a dick. (Your word not mine)
And I don't see how your approach makes discourse any better.
To me the parents question was reasonable. Skeuomorphism was designed for people that may never have seen a computer before. Do we need to still be clicking a floppy disc to save a file?
There's probably differences in how you define flat design. You could include all the issues of current implementations in that definition, or you could say that the burger menu is just bad UX and could be fixed without going back to skeuomorphism.
But you haven't really delved into that.
Dude, are you also playing that script or what?
Of course you do not engage on the level the possibly malicious party wants you to engage, because if you do that, you play their game by their rules.
Have you even tried engaging with what I just said? (inb4 "but you didn't do either!!111")
God, this fucking platform. Whatever man. Go have fun being dragged (or dragging others) into never-ending bad-faith arguments.
