1) Some people seem to think that it's impolite to express an opinion about what is wrong or what is unclear with their partner's essay. Just the opposite is true, you are helping them to think and to express themselves more clearly. It's also hard work for you, and requires thought and effort to understand what your partner was trying to say but didn't, and what s/he should have said but didn't.
2) In the future, I think it would be better if I run the peer editing in an anonymous way--collect the drafts myself, replace the name with a number and distribute it myself. Look for it.
