Should the paranormal category be moved to the entertainment section since that is where the horoscopes are?
That would help to keep the sciency smartypants away.

Why don't paranormal believers want scientists and skeptics to answer? Isn't it rational to hear both sides of a debate? Doesn't that make better conversation?

But would it keep away the jokes and riddles overflow? How about impersonators and stalkers? I see by the TD that you may not really be happy if it moved?. Why not we leave it here and all the trolls, stalkers and impersonators move instead. That way, we could use the site properly and the aforementioned would get more time to themselves? Oh! it seems I annoyed most of the trolls now. And here's me giving you a sensible answer with no mention of seagulls.

There is some crossover with astrology, but I don't think the Entertainment section is right. I think there's a case to be made for considering some aspects of the paranormal within a scientific framework (i.e., the ongoing quest to show that psi powers are real, or evidence of alien visitation, etc.). On the other hand, ghosts and demons and such seem to be more akin to Religion and Spirituality. Because paranormal is an expansive topic it is not easy to pin down into any one category, unfortunately.

We rather need serious answers by intellectual people to make any kind of progress. Many discoveries were made by nonscientists but this section here compares more to a dustbin.

“Science smarty pants” ..HA.. I have yet to run into any Einstein’s here.
That said, paranormal is more serious a matter than mere “entertainment”.
It would fit being part of religion, and philosophy more appropriately.
