You seem to be blaming everything else for this mistake of yours instead of accepting that is was you that made the choice that ultimately led to the action taken against you. Your point about it being hard to refuse to accept something given to you for free is a bit invalid, if you knew a car was stolen you wouldn't accept it because its against the law, the same should be said for doing something against the runescape rules. Your dad leaving your family didn't make you break the rules, growing up in a single family didn't make you break the rules, being a "gangsta" at school and taking on 5 people (which btw I really don't believe) did not break the rules, you made a conscious decision to break the rules and then lie to everyone about it.
Society is built on laws and rules, they help keep order and keep things fair, thats why I like them and I don't like people breaking them, we are all equal in the eyes of the law, in this term the eyes of Runescape and Runevillage, your social background or family history should have no effect on your adherence to the rules. I know in the past I have done bad and I got dutifully punished for it, I hope you learn the same as I have.
I really couldn't have given a flying monkey if you accepted the account and just kept it quiet, I don't condone rule breaking in the slightest, but heck its your online experience you can screw it up whatever way you want. It's the way that you blatantly flat out lied about the origins of the account to everyone here, you were starting to get better, you were getting more accepted, why would you blow it all over a easy RS account?
Most people enjoy their runescape accounts because it is an achievement, they put the work in and everything that is on that account, all the skills, all the items, is due to their work and effort, its an achievement. I honestly can't understand why people would even want a 2nd hand account, it would never really feel the same and there is always the chance that the original owner could recover it back or it could be banned.
I'm curious if you will keep using the account now, lying to more people, or if you will do the right thing and either try return it to the original owner or just drop the account.
You need to think carefully about what kind of person you want to be, do you really want to be someone who can lie so easily to his friends, someone that will take the easy way out no matter how wrong it is? Every choice you make shapes you as a person, don't make too many wrong ones or you might not like what you have created.
You should take the internet a little less seriously than you are doing now. Oh and by the way, his account got locked for saying bad things to a player moderator.

Then you in turn may want to take her post less seriously as well. Please be nicer, she was stating her opinion, not flaming Tyler. -Jaron
