I suspect this is likely what is really going on. The people who argue
that "bad (i.e. poorly written) classes" shouldnt be included in GNUstep
use the argument that NSToolbar "pollutes" GNUstep. This is the same kind
of slippery-slope argument that white supremicists and anti-semites use
when arguing that people with white skin shouldn't interbreed with people
of other "races", because it will "pollute" the gene pool. The lessons of
cultural relativism are as relevant within the context of GNUstep and
Apple classes as they are when discussing so-called "intermarriage".
I urge everyone here to think critically about their own views, and ask
yourself "why do I believe this to be true?" because much more can be
accomplished in the spirit of cooperation.
