When do players talk to us seriously when they are not whining? That is the vast majority of the time they say anything to us unless we address them first. And even then I do not call them by their name, I call them by their number. And there are many players I know who they are based on the status the media gives them.

It isn't a big deal at all which is why I said if you did one thing I would not bat an eye and do what I always do.
