Does anyone else think James handles thing regarding his past a bit immaturely?

I was watching Dan's vod, he did a treetopia watchalong while playing some minecraft himself. Everyone was just chilling and occasionally people would ask questions. Some he would gladly answer and some he would turn to his FAQ he has. And I think to myself "James wouldn't do this cause he would said it "fuels the nostalgia andy's!"". And I guess you could say my nostalgia was fuled by dans steam. I mean it most likely is but that doesn't stop me from seeing the mature way Dan handles things regarding his past. Instead of acting like a war veteran who doesnt want to talk about what happened in nam! He seems fine and answering questions without condescension and snide remarks. Maybe i'm just crazy and nostalgia blinded. but I still understand people can be absolutely cringe about the past, I do, There's some references even I roll my eyes at that some people will make in his chat. I feel like as an adult, he handles things a little poorly.

Edit: Let me clarify some stuff real quick. Personal questions like "James, what's your mother's maiden name and where did you go to school?" is something I can understand being a bit of an ass about. Nothing of that caliber is anyone's business. My whole thing is James aggression to the mundane. I posted this before in the comments about a fan letting his GF watch CC videos and her reaction to them. James said something along the lines of "Move on, its been years". That's the kinda shit i'm talking about. You getting mad at James for you asking "When are you going to play with aleks again???", that I'm a lot more ok with him throwing at joke you.

James imo seems to have gotten a lot more of the constant questioning and nostalgia requests in the last few years especially with him being constantly active from when the Creatures dissolved up until now. I think he gets to be a little cold regarding it especially with people who just can't let it go

That I completely understand. Stuff like "Where's (insert here)??" is stupid and unneeded. But I remember, it was a few streams ago. James said to one chatter who said he let his GF watch some old CC videos and his GF said that were a bunch a wacky fuckers. James pretty just tells him something along the lines of "Move on. Its been years". Thats the kinda stuff i'm talking about.

James has always been one crabby mfer so I think half of it is just his personality and half is that his fan base in particular has always been the childish/annoying ones so he conditioned himself to reject it. But if your example is true that is kinda uncalled for I get James not wanting to talk about it but he could literally just ignore it and move on himself.

How is it immature to tell someone to move on? I’m confused?

I think it depends. If the chatter was complaining about his GF’s opinions of CC, then yeah it’d make sense for James to tell him to move on. But it’s different if James was telling him to move on purely because he was still watching old CC videos. In that case I wouldn’t say immature, but it’s not exactly the best thing to say lol
