Reviewing friends

Apparently I have more friends than I thought.

'Cause get what just popped into my inbox?  A grant review request from an agency for a friend.  And not a conference buddy friend.  An actual, we-got-educated-together (not in that way, you sick bastard) friend.

I know, especially with the size of academia, that I would review a grant or paper for a friend eventually.

I just didn't think it would be this soon.

Or potentially have to be a negative review.

Does it actually suck or does it just potentially suck?

I've reviewed a paper from a friend, and it was weird. Especially as it came back several times, and they could not seem to address one of the issues I had with it...
