Via Laurie , a great piece of advice on how to write a bad review. The article talks about book reviews but its advice perfectly applies to paper reviews. In short, the key points are the following:

• Provide context
• Have a little humility about your opinion
• Cut the writer some slack (especially if the author is young)
• Don’t review your enemies
• Don’t be a dick
• Be balanced (i.e. not just focus on the crappy parts)

Any other advice?
