BEYOND IMAGINATION

To whom it may concern,

Upon first glance, I thought your web site to be amusing and in good taste. But after some reading into the attached pages, I found myself in disgust with what I saw. I rather think it is silly of you people to put in so much effort into a topic in which you obviously no nothing about. Oiji boars, 'entities', 'astral', my dear friends, you are as knowledgeable in these things as my beloved pet german shepard, if not less. For you see, when she gets a feeling, she does not bother other people with her silliness as you have. I would strongly hope that in the futur youwould put a warning upon entrance if your childish room, something to the effect of "Dear guests, before you take anything in hre seriously, we would like you to know we are all a bunch of adalescent fools who know nothing more than what we have read in a few books about parapsychology." I myself AM a parapsychologist, and it is fools such yourself you give us ALL a bad name. You are incompetant, and unimaginable idiotic.

Well then, now that I believe I haev suffieciantly battered you, let me please take a moment to explain myself. I have nothing against any of you personally, but I find your work unacomplished and immature. I rather feel it was a waste of my time to even bother with your petty ignorance. But being a man of my profession, it is not only my obligation to assist you, but I feel morally responsible for people like you. After all, we as parapsychologists made a choice to include the public in our findings, and now we must deal with our decision.

There are MANY credible sites out there, and your's is not one of them. Change it immediately or you will find that your site will be looked at the same way as millions of other chilidhish and utterly stupid sites are. If you do require help, please ask from it. I can gaurantee you as a parapsychologist myself, ask any of us and we will help you in any way that we see fit. But please, for your own sakes, do not speak of things you have no idea of.

With no respect whatsoever,

Dr. Jake Stoneman PhD

Wed, 3 Dec 97: Otherplane's reply to Dr. Jake Stoneman, PhD

To whom it may concern,

Thank you for your comments concerning our website. It is apparent that you missed the point of our website. We do not profess to be anything other than participants in the realm of the unknown (paranormal), of which scientists and doctors (such as yourself - if you truly are a PhD) have yet to trully legitimize your professions when dealing with the unknown (paranormal/parapsychology).

Your profession deals with; telepathy, psychokinesis and clairboyance ... and yet with all that is happening everyday that cannot be explained, you so-called PhD's have no definitive proof one way or the other. So how do you justify what you do when you've done nothing positive to-date.

We (of Otherplane) do not declare that we possess a PhD degree nor do we call ourselves experts in what we do. We are simply individuals who share the same interest and have had similar experiences that there are no clearcut answers to.... and we are amongst a vast number of individuals, more so than all of you PhD's combined.

We are constantly seeking answers to the "what, why and how" unnatural events occur time and time again. Those that are seeking these answers do not "slam" others' experiences, but rather gain an insight to the fact that maybe there are more to what (so far - even by you so called PhD's) cannot be explained.

We (of Otherplane) have the capability to investigate and secure answers to our readers questions. We believe in our abilities and are rewarded when our readers write to us saying that they "now better understand" what numerous printed articles/books, failed to do. We have never asked for compensation concerning our efforts because the information that comes from the investigation is a reward in itself, for us.

Therefore, we (of Otherplane) personally take issue with the adolescent type of behavior for one of your stature and one of a professional position. We think (by your comments and lack of attention to spelling) that you cannot be what you say you are and if you are a PhD, then your level of education and professional ethics is suspect. It is because of this, we will include your email (verbatim) on our website for the "whole world to see," and let them judge you and the profession you say you represent.

Enjoy your day,

We (of Otherplane), apologize for our behavior toward this individual and his profession but we felt that we strongly believe in the paranormal and our abilities to do what we do. What we do is no different than what psychics, seers or fortune tellers do. However, the way we conduct our investigations and with the full participation of "our friend" at all times, and "without first researching written articles/books on a particular topic," from our readers requests, we believe that this is what makes us different. We truly enjoy what we do and this individual's opinion of us will not deter us one bit.

Readers who have regularly corresponded with us know that we are not a bunch of psychotics who "get our rocks off by feeding them a bunch of bull." Rather, it is the "narrow-minded" individuals that chose to become so-called professionals because they have a piece of paper called, a Degree and a title of Doctor, that prey (for a fee) on defenseless people who are simply seeking comfort and answers to their unusual experiences, that we have no respect for. A Degree or a Title does not make one an expert in their chosen profession because learning and maturing is constant.

When mankind finally achieves all that there is to know and new challenges are no longer possible, the world will come to an end. Thank God that we all have a long long way to go yet. Apparently, Dr. Jake Stoneman, PhD, has chosen to stop learning and maturing, as an individual. (If you wish to send this person your personal comments, click on his name).
