I was in a Mikva in Montreal [mens] and there was a big sign saying no talking allow in thee mikva, this is the first time I saw something like that, did anyone ever see something like that?
Yes, I have seen it a few times.
What thats all you do in the mikvah. just cratz for hours and talk vchooloo
Napoleon asked his advisors what the best way he can find out what’s going on in the country with regular folks. After much thought they advised him the only place to find out what’s going on is to go to the Mikva. They prepared him well, trained him how things work there and dressed him like a nice Yiddele.
Napoleon comes to the Mikva on an Erev Shabbos. After his seventh dunk he asks the others with him “vus is nays”? So they immediately reply, “You didn’t hear? Napoleon is coming to the Mikva this week!”
How can Yidden catch up on the latest news if we don’t talk in the Mikva??

There are Halachic issues.
There are Hashkafic, or sensitivity, issues.
Shmoozing causes people to stay in way longer, and others can’t get in.
Staying in longer than necessary causes you to scratch, which nauseates people.
Having a conversation going on nearby can make people uncomfortable.
When you make your announcements and others are quiet, it’s not because they accepted your off-the-hip idea; they just think it doesn’t even pay to try.HaLeVi: Please explain what the halachic issues allegedly are and what the hashkafic issues allegedly are.
Once you said allegedly you lost me.
What are the actual halachic and what are the actual hashkafic issues in regards to taking in the Mikva?
