How we got back the @emo2 handle - thanks to Twitter, you could too

So let me get this straight, you created a twitter account with a wrong name at first, and after a while, you wanted to move to one that better matched your company/brand.

Unfortunately for you, by this time someone else had already taken the username you wanted. Realising this, you figured you had a right to commandeer it from whoever had it, simply because it was 'yours' in real life.

Can you detail if the emo2 account was in use before you requested to steal it from its owner? How old was it? How active? And most importantly, was it actually impersonating you at the time?
