Completely meta and possibly out-of-place, but this thread was I think my first encounter with dang (the human), and, based on it, I'm filled with respect for him.

Good job being you. Please continue doing so.

I have had plenty of disagreements with dang over my time on this site, yet I am the first to claim he has been instrumental in making HN as good as it is, notwithstanding the deluge of posts, bots, trolls, and other ungovernable people.

I have a lot of respect for his work.

To think that someone has multiple / repeated disagreements with Dang is wild to me.

In my history on this site, I have not once seen Dang say or do anything that’s not in the best interest of the community.

He’s possibly one of the least controversial moderators I have ever encountered online.

Well I mean for starters, one might disagree whether all members of "the community" should actually be part of it/be catered to.

I mean it's kinda hard to kick out the VC brainrot get-rich-quick sanity-is-tertiary scum when you're literally housed under a ycombinator subdomain, but that is technically also a choice that people might see as controversial.

I can honestly say I've never seen a moderator on any forum as good as Dang. I wish I had!

As opposed to dang the robot? :)

As opposed to dang wearing the HN hat.
