    If you don't like the hole, stay out of it.
    Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I digress....

    That 's not really the point. The hatred and vitriol that is created there is flooding the rest of the forum. The rudeness and obnoxiousness is getting out of hand because those people who are using it for their personal sandbox and don't deal with the OP are becoming quite emboldened by addressing the issues with slurs and personal attacks and nothing more. It is hardly conducive to dealing with the issues.
    Insults and slurs is all those people do.
    For example, if any item posted deals with Trump, they don't deal with Trump or the issues, they launch personal attacks they've practiced in the Hole, first. How they handle it is by trying to "sucker punch" the posters in the main forum, repeatedly. But since they are on your side of the fence, I suppose it is ok with you.
    If they'd keep their BS in the Hole, we wouldn't have to deal with it there.
    Now, because of their activity, the Hole will be heavily moderated. And, Jim, why do we need one?

    If members didnt go to the hole and feed the trolls that only go to the hole to bait and annoy and create vitriole and disdain, they would stop talking to themselves shortly.

    As long as there are members that keep responding to their nonesense and bait threads, they will keep on doing it. JUST STOP responding to them its really simple

    Its the same individuals that are in the hole all the time going back and forth, just dont respond and then they will have 3 choices. Post on the main forum and remain civil, continue to post in the hole and talk to themselves, or remain mute.

    I joke but that's exactly right, just stop going to the Hole.

    I see that. But more moderation will be a step in the right direction.

    Can we invoke cloture on closure?
