Question: How does a colon cleanse help the body and how effective is it?

Deleted Answer: Bailee (cute name!), you've asked this question in the Wikipedia section. Wikipedia is owned by the Wikimedia Foundation, which also runs a site called Wikimedia Commons. Therefore, I have no choice but the point you to some Foundation-approved educational materials about colons.

Dang it, I answered 3 minutes after Moses. Now we're going to have to split the vote on this one.

I hope that any pro-WR members of the Yahoo! Answers community will find some way to protest this decision

but seriously, what's with the trolling of Yahoo Answers?

I wanted to move this thread somewhere more appropriate but I couldn't find a home for it, we really need a subforum for "useless, shitty threads", this one just isn't offensive enough for the Tar Pit

This is a travesty. I had about 48 "Best Answers" racked up. Obviously, I was providing the resourceful answers that the Y!A community was seeking.

I find it incredible that the person Greg claims to be in real life (a decent, hardworking, successful businessman) is the same person on the internet (an annoying, childish, vindictive troll).

This is yet more trolling by thekohser, in yet another useless attempt at trying to discredit Wikipedia, this time by disrupting Yahoo Answers.

It seems even the WR folk are getting more than a little tired of the same old. Bring us something actually interesting and we'll thank you for it. Right now you're just irritating.

Nice use of the word "trolling" with "useless". And yet, you brought yourself forward to comment about it -- sort of the DEFINITION of measuring a successful troll attempt. How does the bait taste, Theanima?

(I've been bringing "actually interesting" to this forum since you were in junior high school, kid. If you want to be bold, let's have a Survivor-style vote. If you're wanted here more than me, I'll leave. If the converse is true, sayonara Theanima. What do you say, Junior?)

P.S. PROTIP -- I can tell that you're not out of high school yet by your use of the word "businessman" to describe a corporate middle manager.

And the trolling happened on Yahoo Answers...

Colon cleansing is actually bullshit, so pointing the user to images of blinking punctuation and monetary symbols is probably better than pointing them towards a quack doctor that could destroy their rectum.

You deduce that Bailee was trolling when she posted the question "How does a colon cleanse help the body and how effective is it?" to the Yahoo! Answers board about Wikipedia? You may be right, Theanima; I'd have to maybe agree with you there. Looks like her question has been deleted by the authorities.

She has studied natural ways all of her life and spent many summers in the big garden of her maternal Grandpap Dietzen. In 1992, she obtained her license in Massage and Colonics in the State of Florida from the Department of Professional Regulation, Division of Medical Quality Assurance. She has been a Certified Instructor/School for the International Association of Colon Therapy since 1994.

I used businessman in a general sense. I have no idea what exact position you have.

And the trolling happened on Yahoo Answers; you decided to come here and boast about it.

FYI I finished high school years ago. Not that it matters; yet more ad hominems.
