Sounds like new staff came in and they decided to clean things up, but decided to keep the plastic boxes.

Allegedly he'd quit three times in one year: https://lists.vcfed.org/pipermail/vcf-midatlantic/2019-Decem...

I dunno, the whole damn situation stinks, but it feels like there's a hell of a lot more going on here than just a box of magazines.
I don't really have the time to look into this more, it's not my group. My involvement was to reply as (I thought) a friend to ask both sides to chill and get around a table, and the outcome of that was that Jason opted to berate and belittle me. We'd worked together in the past (long time ago) on a preservation project and over time he's burned bridges with a lot of the people who worked on that.
I have no idea what's going on with Jason these days, but I hope he's okay.
If when communicating with him you trivialized the loss of a couple dozen large containers of historical IEEE-related documents that he saved, packed up and rented a truck to deliver as "just a box of magazines," I bet he did berate you.
