Like the famous Christmas truce in World War One, the miraculous truce between Don Allen of IBNN and Johnny Northside blog in the "NoMi Blog Wars" continues to hold into the holidays...
Recently, Don Allen forwarded this picture of his lovely family with Merry Christmas wishes and it seemed like something nice to share with my readers.
Allen is married to University of Minesota Professor Enid Logan Allen, who is the author of a book called This Defining Moment which is about "the election of the first black president and the resurgence of overt racism in America."
Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com

There is no NoMi blog war. There are just a world of people that agree you're a douchebag.
You just don't get it. Don was getting an award and couldn't afford to have your blog harassment stifle his award ceremony.
Behind the scenes he screwed you over just like he has in the past.
You're just to ignorant to see.
You know the saying, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer". Don is a master at that.
Don got an award?
Hey, good for Don!
The jordan hawkman blog was taken off line while no one seemed to notice. Why don't you put on a dog and pony show like you have done for don? Looks like there was no truce but, clearly they just acted in a responsible manner and didn't seek headlines like you do for everything you have touched. Good or bad.
And your point is what?
I have looked but I've been unable to find the Jordan Hawkman blog. However, it's my impression it was taken down quite a while back and not recently.
If somebody wants to communicate, my email is no secret. This habit of leaving anonymous comments is not the most efficient way to communicate with me if somebody actually wants to get something done.
And the most effective way for you to get started ripping someone a new asshole is to give you their name!
What have you won lately?
Like I don't know who is behind these anonymous comments that I reject almost daily. It's simply far more convenient to communicate by email. Or would you prefer to communicate through an intermediary? Like Don Allen?
I presume Don would be willing to do that, though it is (admittedly) a presumption.
The only reason JNS posted this article, IMHO, is to remind Don that JNS will be right there to harass him should Don post anything about JNS.
That's the way JNS works.
Alright, who is your guess?
You guys could form a team and monopolize North Side Real Time News. That could be your name...team up and take over. How better to represent North Minneapolis with you guys with your respective points of view.... if you really mean it you could make a difference.
What a good family picture and they all look very happy..it seems like good people to friend up with and cherish through the years. Life is short and you gotta' relish the good stuff.
Don has been misunderstood at times. He is a smart and good guy.
John provides an outlet that deals with the shit. He rolls with the flow and stays mellow.. henceforth ,him and Don talk again. You guys, without being a corn, have been reborn.
I could only wish you guys could put your two melons into one. You two Alpha asshole's could make a difference...beta hunnerd" to you won. Getit?
At least Don lives in Minnesota. Hoff lives in another state.
2015: City news will not know what hit em.
Happy New Years..... if we get there ...you do not know and neither do I. Please explain yourself, Don. Happy New Years to both of you stupid assholes.
