Yes, you should.
There is no space in the market for drama queens. If you can't give negative feedback now because of their feelings, how do you expect to give it to them when their company doesn't meet targets & expectations?
Negative feedback is priceless. It's toughening, it points people in the right direction and, sometimes, it helps to laser-focus (especially when it's pointless - eg remember when people asked for GANTT charts on Basecamp?).
