Actually, the "hole" is over the Antarctic, not the arctic and does
fluctuate naturally. The problem with CFCs is that they are quite effective
at destroying ozone and are much more stable, so they stay in the atmosphere
for a long time. While they cannot be blamed for the existence of the ozone
hole, it seems foolish to keep producing and using substances known to have
such a profound and damaging effect, when substitutes are available.

Freon isn't a greenhouse gas, it reacts with ozone and is the cause of
the
large hole above the arctic.

Kindly demonstrate proof that use of freon "caused" the hole in the
ozone,
and that it wasn't already there and doesn't fluctuate in size on it's
own
due to natural forces.

It's not a fact in dispute - go look it up for yourself.
