> I submitted all the information needed in the Documentaion Editing thread.
What's Documentaion? I assume you mean Documentation.
There is no single Documentation Editing thread. There are, in fact six. As I previously informed you, I have scanned them (all 2300+ posts), and did not see the post you claim to have made. You were notified of this and have refused to provide the data, any better search criteria, or to even narrow the search by specifying which of the threads you posted the requested information in.
You have spent much more time whining about us wasting your time with this request than it would have taken you to find and copy/past the information.
> I can drag this on forever AND 'win' in the end.
Win? What Win? All I'm trying to do is get the information you claim to have, so that the documentation can be improved (assuming you're right - an assumption I continue to be less inclined to believe as you draw this out). The only win here is when the confusion is resolved. That's a win for the users/players, and they win whether or not you happen to be right.
> your silly claim I'm not fit to edit Documentation.
It's a silly claim is it? Look at all the errors in this thread that I've pointed out. In addition, in a previous post in this thread (also in other threads), I listed some of the reasons why you're a poor choice as an Editor, and Gnerphk implied another. There are others, but there's no need to go into them here. At no time have you provided rebuttal to any of the provided reasons. Let it suffice to say that I don't believe any sane person will allow you to be part of a team whose goal is to write good, maintainable documentation.

> I don't use a spell checker
That's clear. It's also a poor habit for a Documentation Editor and something you should consider changing. FYI, most browsers have a spell checker built into them.
> ranting about how Joshua and Big Beefer won't do what you want
There have been multiple times when I felt that it was appropriate to explain to users that certain changes are beyond the control of the Documentation Editors.
I stated once that we could deliver documentation in a timelier manner if Joshua provided one or more of us with early access to forthcoming changes (I volunteered to sign an NDA). It should be noted that, with commercial products, it is a common practice for the documentation team to work closely with the development team, and is, in fact, the only proven way for good documentation to be available when a product is released.
Finally, I have informed users, multiple times, that the current security implementation (specifically the authorization) at Planets.nu is inadequate for changes that the users had been requesting. If you ever work with an MLS (Multi-Level Secure) system, or dig into the internals of SELinux, you'll understand. I believe much of this was also covered in the NCSC's Orange Book (http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/history/dod85.pdf), but it's been a while since I read it, so I could be in error.
Usually, it's only necessary to provide the above once per thread for the users to understand and accept.
None of those were rants, unless you chose to make them so in your mind, or by an argumentative or derisive post.
> how you're a genius
I have never made any such claim, as Gnerphk explained. It appears that your memory appears to have some errors.
> deserve $100,000 for editing Documentation
I have never requested or suggested that Joshua pay the Documentation Editors any money. In addition, I would never suggest that Joshua pay that much for any Editor, although a good Senior Editor might be worth that, if they were being hired for a large project (Planets.nu is a small project).

> I don't think anyone deserves 100k a year for sitting in front of a computer
Look at the high-tech openings in any large US city and you'll find numerous openings for people to sit in front of a computer, making over $100K/yr., in some cases well over that. I know a few people making over $200k/yr. for sitting in front of a computer, and I don't consider any of them to be overpaid. They are that good at what they do.
I don't know what your problem is with people getting paid what they're worth. The only possibility I can think of is that when others make a high salary, whether due to their skills or experience, it clearly shows that they're more capable than you are.
It would be wise for you to remember that, no matter how good you think you are at any specific task, there is almost always someone better at that task than you are, and there are usually many. I see nothing wrong with additional skill and/or capabilities generating additional income.
> I like being 100% right
Then you must really hate yourself.
> How about Shutthefarkupenese?
STFU? From you? Didn't you once give a long rant about that being a Rule 1 violation?
