I feel sympathy (not exactly the perfect word, but close) for dang in many situations, but the obvious care he has for the community coupled with a practical inability to really engage on equal footing must be frustrating (unless via a second handle, which we’d never know about).

Well he still does post links and comment on articles from time to time (both as 'dang and 'gruseom, and I think a lot of users don’t make the connection). I think he just isn’t a super active commenter (and the things he likes to comment on don’t show up so often). Obviously he can’t really weigh in and pick sides with some random flame war in the comments.
