Is it taken from this that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, speaks to the people of the Fire?

Answer:
Yes, He spoke to them in words of rebuke, not words of honor. It is words of rebuke, yes, and blame and reproach, not words of honor as He speaks to the believers, the people of Paradise. Yes, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says to the people of Paradise:
[And] "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord.سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍ
[Ya-Sin 36:58]
This is honor, an address of honor. Yes.
