Writer's Workshop (http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/writersworkshop.html) is an effective mechanism for a group of writers to critique each other's writing, and improve writing skills together. This can be done in an informal setting within a research group before a paper is submitted or published.
Even if the authors are in the room, refer to them in the third person to reduce sense of direct confrontation in heated discussions. If the authors wish to participate in the discussion, they can choose to also use "the authors" to refer to themselves so that they appear less self-defensive.
