Sorry, i didn't realize telling someone about a forum rule is a negative thing. 

As for what Erroll said, he's right. While I often find it to be a useful word,  not everyone appreciates the word fuck. Using it on the back cover description might drive away potential buyers.  . Pointing out something that could affect your sales is constructive criticism, not negativity. Negative would be telling you that you're an asshole for putting it on there.

At least that's how I would take it.

Honestly I don't give a fuck. Just - how do I delete this and get out of here?

I did not realize that - I was seeking connections and dialogue. Also, this is a rather negative beginning to my first experience here and I'd like to leave. How do I delete this post?

Hey guys, a friend suggested sharing my new book here on Dropzone. I wanted to write about the first 100 jumps especially because, when I first started skydiving last year, I somehow sense that a very personal and fundamental change was about to take place, and I should probably record those early experiences to look back on and talk about with other people along the journey. This sport - even in such a short period - has had such a profound effect in my life: it's basically what I keep going for now: everything from the sense of community and camaraderie to the psychological and emotional transformations to what unfolds at the edges that we seek. Also, I am a (kind of) lucid dreamer and dream about skydiving virtually every night.

If any of this or anything in the book itself resonates, I would love to hear more. For me, writing - like skydiving - becomes real when we share the experience with others.
