Think about your actions and words. They reflect upon you, your team, and the entire community.

To be fair, Cory might have been upset because his team number was used by the anonymous account. An observer who didn't know mentor_4281 wasn't actually from 254 might have thought that 254 was the team struggling with the challenge of having a challenged student on their team. That's not to say that having a blind student is a problem, but that people thinking your team has such a student when you do not is. It's simply not comforting to know that people are willing to use your team as a "throwaway" in order to keep themselves anonymous. That said, I do think we should try and help mentor_4281 and suggest good ways to assist with visually challenged students!
