i can't sleep and it's getting light out

how do you tell a person you love that you're not thoroughly impressed with their work? not to say the person isn't talented, he/she is, you're just not "omg" about their work like everybody else. maybe it's just me playing devil's advocate? or maybe i just don't want to stroke his/her ego any more than it already is. does that make sense? but it's tough when the person asks for your opinion and you just have to lie and say you love it when you really just want to critique the fuck out of it. it's also a load of shit when the same person doesn't credit you for your ideas. you mention something or inspire the person to create something awesome and he/she doesn't credit you! what is that?! hello, that's like the first rule of thumb. even if it's online! you put the whole.. "via xyz" bit in. duhh.
