"There is no doubt that toxic dynamics can arise in classrooms. While this is not a pleasant aspect of teaching, it does happen. The only solution is to put a stop to it early. One nice element of the Google Docs system is that all shared communication is kept on record. If feedback is unproductive or students use the peer review and collaboration system as a way to bully another, this is all subject to your discretion. You can stop it, save it to share with parents, or use it as evidence in disciplinary actions. And if students are aware of this ability, they may never need to use the platform as a means to intimidate in the first place, which will also make the learning experience more pleasant."
