I really do not appreciate your offensive tone, the insinuations and this 
whole "I'm the openser police" attitude. I have never said I won't update 
the docs, I only said I'll do it later because I was busy with something 
more urgent that I had to do. Still you insist on writing these emails 
where you talk to me like I'm an anarchist that officially declared he 
won't update the docs no matter what. Is this kind of attitude that is 
motivating me to contribute less rather than more to this project. After 
I spent my time to enhance this project, the last thing I need is to get 
a slap over my head because I wasn't quick enough for your taste in 
updating the docs. Maybe next time I should just open a feature request 
ticket and let others deal with the shit.

Then stop acting like an over-amped rent-a-cop and send an email half an 
hour after I made a commit querying what's up with the docs because you 
haven't seen them soon enough for your expectations.

who's reasonable short time?

At this point I'm confused. Is this a generic moralizing speech not 
targeted to any certain individual or do you imply that I'm acting above 
others because I wasn't quick enough in updating the docs?
