Bad online behaviour is usually handled within the rules set up by online worlds, which can ban miscreants or take away their virtual possessions.

In recent years, virtual lives have had consequences in the real world.

Well, it does make sense since what is in the mind does manifest in actions. Hence the murder is justified for it can happen in real life if one is given a chance. WATCH OUT!!!
