You're playing an online soccer game with teammates and one player on your team makes a huge mistake, costing your team the match. You feel very angry and want to say something, but you remember to pause and consider your teammate's point of view. Doing this makes you recognize that:

• Online comments don't really mean anything, so it's okay to make fun of people.

• This person deserves to be kicked off the team.

• Posting something mean will cause drama and hurt feelings.
