What's the Arbiter Lounge and Bolthole?

Uncle! I give, you made me curious. What's the Arbiter Lounge and Bolthole? The description says "The place to go when you need a break, a sanity check, or send up the bat signal for air support"

Is that a place where people go if they are sick of all the arguing in Politics & Current Events? Or somewhere where they are sent? Or both? If you need a rest, do you have to ask a mod to send you there? In that case, is it sort of like the self-bannination some members use when they are trying to meet a writing deadline?

Heh - it's a private room for the P&CE OATs (Arbiter/Ombudsmen/Thingamajobbies) to use, to confer, whimper, and strategize.

OATs. I love it! But what happens when they become... Wild OATs?

I love that they are OATS. We feed them to the horses. As opposed to the trolls.

I like to make oatmeal with rolled OATS. Steel cut is fun too . . .

Ooooh, she's scary. It must be the exposure to all those edged weapons in Medieval lays or Norse sagas or something.
