Ignore it or risk a reputation of looking for fire where there is none.
I once had a coach tell his player to stop complaining because I was the best umpire he would see this year. It meant the same as the coach who complains. I ignore them both, but may smile at one a bit more.
Have a good season.

Most illogical point I've heard by a sports "official" in many years.
I hope you never show up to work a game with me.
