You can never know what will hurt someone
You can never know what will hurt someone.
Therefore, not doing and not saying things because it "might hurt someone" is silly. Actually, it is more than silly, it is harmful because you are limiting yourself. It is kind of like lying. Actually, I think it is totally like lying.
So, say what you will and do what you will.
And if the "someone" is me I'd like you to know that I really do prefer absolute honesty. Really. And if the "someone" is not me, well...I think that absolute honesty might be a good thing for them too.
