G4NG$T3R,
First and foremost, thank you for joining our community!
You couldn't really have known beforehand that your nickname G4NG$T3R shared similarities with those of another player, G4NG5T3R - I think I speak for most people when I say this isn't the kind of thing I'd check out when registering somewhere.
Similarly, I get where DoctorG is coming from in the sense he was attempting to protect G4NG5T3R from the potential of impersonation.
I don't think either one of you are out of line, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem.
To avoid confusion, I think it would be best if you choose another nickname. Even if we discard the potential of impersonation, we still have other issues that may arise - for example if a player were to say "Hey Gangster!" in game, and you were both around, this could understandably raise questions about who was being spoken to.
