Yeah, BLKNSLVR came from "Black and Silver" based on some crappy piece of art I did way long ago. It wasn't until using it as an in-game handle that a friend read it out to me as "Black Enslaver" that I even realised it could read another way.

I don't like that it can be interpreted that way, but I also refuse to stop using it since that's someone else's reading.

The only factor I use to treat one human different from another is whether they're a jerk or not, and I have to know them well enough to work that out. I've come across a few jerks in my time, and they take many and varied forms.



Thank you for the explanation! I totally forgot about this, and I appreciate the clarification. Now I can read your screen name as its meant to be. Btw if I came off like a jerk - not at all my intent. My brain made the association and I couldn't unthink it
