[board] Fwd: Notice of Removal from Listservs

[Jennifer Berry]

Sending you all this update so you're in the loop, no action needed at this
time. My advice is to ignore any attempts to communicate should Jonathan
reach out. Or refer him back to me. 😁
Thanks!

The TLDR:
Jonathan has been given ample warnings and knows why he's been
blocked. He's using classic tactics of Entitlement/Narcissistic traits,
DARVO pattering, boundary-testing escalation, rage and lack of
accountability. DARVO: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.
I'll be adjusting our protocols for the Buzz and Swarmlist as a result of
this situation, more to come at the next Board meeting.

Furthermore Jennifer,

I would like to make it clear that this notice failed to adequately address
my concerns with reasonable time or care to the situation.

I have sent you multiple emails in an attempt to receive clarity on
mistreatment that I have received.

These emails still remain unanswered.

It is through the concerns of other members that I have been offered any
sort of understanding as to the case.

Please provide clarification.

Kindly,

Jonathan Magnusson
