Come on. This kind of inconsistent 'policing' is not helpful.

By all means, push the *committers* to improve the project docs as is
happening, and to promote the internal resources over external ones.

But Mark has absolutely no formal connection with the project, and his
contributions have only been to file a couple of JIRA (all of which have so
far been ignored by those of his colleagues who *are* active community
members, I'll note!).  Shaming him for not linking docs that describe
something *other* than what he was even talking about is crossing the line
IMO.

Linking to third-party resources is commonplace, the only difference I can
see here is that these have been called "docs"  by the authors, instead of
a blog post, and Mark has a DataStax email address.

Would you have reacted this way if Aaron Morton linked a blog post by
thelastpickle?  Or a random user posted their own resources?  Obviously not.

I was initially all for the ASF endeavour to counteract DataStax' outsized
influence on the project, and was hopeful you might achieve some positive
change.  Perhaps you may well still do.  But it seems to me that the ASF
behaviour is beginning to cross from constructive criticism of the project
participants to prejudicially hostile behaviour against certain community
members - and that is unlikely to result in a better project.

You should be treating everyone consistently, in a manner that promotes
project health.
