Is that how you judge if something someone says about someone is true? They didn't deny it, therefore it must be true.

If you're accused of something, what exactly are your options? You can admit to it, you can deny it, you can remain silent, or you can do what you're doing, which is to try to use misdirection to get everyone's attention focused on another issue other than PrimeNumber7 being your alt account. In this particular case, why wouldn't you just deny it if it in fact is not your alt account? Perhaps it's because you want there to be some doubt in people's minds; perhaps it's because you don't want to be a flat-out liar since it's pretty obvious it's your account.

Either way, I'd expect at least you, Quickseller, or PrimeNumber7 to deny the connection when presented with the evidence. It is very strange indeed that there was no response of confirmation or denial by either account in that or this thread. And by the way, this isn't about me or how I judge people. Either confirm or deny that PrimeNumber7 is your alt account or stop evading the question and stay silent.

I hope you are never in this situation, however if you were ever charged with manufacturing illegal drugs in your basement, you will not be obligated to take the stand to testify if you did what you were charged with doing. You can make statements (often through your lawyer) that poke holes in the evidence presented against you, and present alternate theories to explain the evidence. When you plead 'not guilty' to a crime, you are saying that the government (the accuser) must prove their accusations per the standard as required by the constitution, you are not saying that you are innocent.

In the above example, I very specifically did not say if you were actually a Pharmacist of illegal drugs in your basement.

There are also often times in which there is outsized pressure to make statements on an issue when you do not wish to make a confirmation or denial.

I am not sure what you mean by "excuse my past behavior"?

I think it's pretty clear. Certainly you must remember stating that you were just following the lead of more senior members, and deflecting by pointing out they weren't treated as harshly as you. Sounds like excuses to me, and as I've said it makes your apology seem insincere.

Well that is why I did it. Those people were doing similar things out in the open, and no one batted an eye. There was no movie about similar behavior, there were real people who did it, and no one cared. It was no secret that other people were doing similar things. People seemed to be more upset that I lied about what I did, more than what I actually did, and I have not made excuses for that. This is why I don't like responding to these types of accusations, and generally will not do so. Based on your posts, I don't think anything I say will change your mind on the matter, so asking me to confirm something like this is asking me to submit to you, considering it is clear you will reject any denial that I might make.
