Don Allen of the IBNN blog, who doesn't live in North Minneapolis or own property in our neighborhood but constantly tries to involve himself in North Minneapolis issues, has been banned from North Talk Facebook page. The page is a discussion forum about North Minneapolis issues which has been eclipsed, of late, by the more popular North Vent Facebook page, but remains a popular forum.
Word is Don Allen was banned for his constant race-baiting on the forum.
This reminds me...
Hey, Don Allen, any more information on what "really happened" in the death of Major Topps? You promised a long time ago you would get to the bottom of it. It's coming up on the third anniversary of your promise.
There. Now readers don't have to constantly see Exotica Taylor's stripper pic when they go to my page.
ReplyDeleteWith Don being atop a lot of news and info of a general community awareness nature, might he know where Jerry is, how he can be reached, served? After your trial they might have kept in touch.
ReplyDeleteWord is you are not allowed on North Vent.
ReplyDeleteReading the postings on North Talk. Jeff Skrenes took the photo Don Allen posted the wrong way and banned him, admittedly because he's bias against Don Allen. Many of the groups members are not agreeing that Don should have been banned.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Jeff, and he should not have been the one to make the decision.
Please explain how Allen is a "shakedown blogger" when you are the one posting the jail roster, then asking $250.00 to have a name removed?
ReplyDeleteThank God Johnny. Never post those kinds of photos again! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat story Johnny, maybe you should look in the direction of StairStep Foundation and MNsure. I'm "sure" there is a story waiting for you.
ReplyDeleteJohnny, I have all the Major Topp information and would be willing to share it with you over coffee. Don Allen
ReplyDeleteActually you are wrong. Most of the comments are supportive of Don Allen. The comments suggest that Jeff Skrenes is too thin skinned, and that the posting by Don Allen was not "race baiting".
ReplyDeleteHere are examples:
"Another way of looking at this is, Don put Jeff and Jon because he wanted to share the funny with them too. I think we all agree that the picture is funny and a slam to whom ever it may fit."
"This was good. Jeff Skrenes he wasn't trying to bait anyone but racist. Unless your kicking him out on their behalf?"
"Race baiting how? Only a racist should be offended. The catpion has them with the small brain and nobody else. I guess it's all about one's perception."
"What [this person] says is very true. Why would anyone be offended except they were racist?"
"I love the pic but was confused when Don put Jeff and Jon. What Jon is he talking about? Jeff doesn't seem like a racist to me but I don't know him. I only follow what he has posted which seems to be very opposite from being a racist. If by Jon, he means dear old Johnny NS.... Well.... I can see how many have come to that conclusion based on his blogs. IMHO"
The last comment is classic and shows that people think John Hoff is a racist. OK.
Oh, look here. An anonymous poster who is probably Don Allen himself chimes in, in defense of Don Allen.
ReplyDeleteWould that be the same Don Allen who admitted, under oath, that he comments anonymously on his own IBNN blog to stir up discussion?
You're not from North Minneapolis, Don. When are you going to get that in your head and GO AWAY and leave us to our neighborhood revitalization efforts?
By the way, Don, how many Facebook accounts do you control so you can chime in as different people in defense of your own weak arguments?
ReplyDeleteIn regard to the Major Topps info, Don Allen, if that's really you, how about you publish the information on your own blog like you promised?
ReplyDeleteAs for coffee...
I don't drink coffee.
In regard to the "jail roster" comment...
ReplyDeleteGeez, it's after the first of the month, isn't it? Thanks for the helpful reminder. I am off to do the jail roster now.
John Hoff = Dana Fisher.
ReplyDeleteComment from Don Allen rejected.
ReplyDeleteYou'll include your name when you comment, huh, Don Allen? That's not what you said under oath and I have the transcript. You said that you comment anonymously on your own blog to stir up discussion.
Me? Banned from North Vent?
ReplyDeleteI commented there not five minutes ago. Your information is wrong.
I do hear that Don Allen tried to start a new North Minneapolis facebook discussion forum, and nobody cares or wants to participate.
Shocking.
Not.
Actually the new North Talk has about 55 members. North Vent was started because people were sick of Jeff Skrenes' bullshit moderation and arbitrarily banning of members.
ReplyDeleteNorth Talk 2 was started by members banned by Skrenes, but who feel North Vent is overtly racist as is clearly evidenced by your comments. There are also a few other closed groups that you will never see, that have significant commentary about Johnny Northside being a racist. I suspect your racism, real or illusion, is going to bite you in the ass like an angry pitpull in about 5 months. Freedom of speech is one thing, being an honorable person is another. In some professions you can't have both and survive. You lose.
What is with the Dana Fisher comparison? Care to explain who this is and why? It may be trivial, who knows.
ReplyDeleteI am clueless what is meant about the Dana Fisher comment. Somebody seems to think I am one and the same with Dana Fisher? Madness. Lunacy. But, please, feel free to expand upon your lunatic conspiracy theory. I am breathless with anticipation. I am off to go look at myself in the mirror naked just in case I really am Dana Fisher.
ReplyDeleteJust because I am curious...
ReplyDeleteHow many of those 55 members are alternate Facebook personalities of Don Allen? That would be the same Don Allen who admitted under oath that he comments anonymously on his own blog to stir up discussion.
Oh, also, just because you make somebody a "member" of your Facebook group doesn't mean they WANT to be a member or plan to PARTICIPATE. The new forum is and was dead before it started, except for Don Allen talking to himself, perhaps.
ReplyDeleteNow u on here contradicting yourself now you start stirring up shit making blogs about people doesnt revitalize the neighborhood dumbass....
ReplyDeleteOh, but it does. Don Allen being thrown off a forum that discusses neighborhood revitalization is indeed VERY GOOD for neighborhood revitalization.
ReplyDeleteI also reserve the right to blog about current events in Timbuktu if I feel so inclined.
Judging from the recent comments on North Talk members would like to see you kicked out. But it looks like Skrenes is too much of a pussy to go against you, lest he be your next headline.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you like to skulk there, don't you, Don? Have you ever thought about getting involved in the issues of the city where you actually LIVE?
