I've found exactly the opposite. He blatantly lies about situations, gas lights at every opportunity, refuses to himself follow the HN guidelines; his behavior is completely the opposite of the letter and spirit of the HN guidelines.

He posts vague, "Please stop" comments on many people he perceives as breaking the HN guidelines, which is a clear violation of the "no low effort posts" HN guideline. When he does elaborate, he violates the HN guideline of arguing the best form of an argument by nitpicking and intentionally misinterpreting what people mean and how they write. Further, he pretends to not understand a situation and simply repeat the vague, "You're breaking the rules".

When I tried to interact with a different moderator he refused to let me, without elaborating. He didn't allow me to speak with anyone other than him; I wonder why that is...

Dang is not a good moderator, a look at his comment history will reveal that pretty clearly.
