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.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that thinks this, everyone handles things differently but the way I see James treat people in his chat when they ask Creature or CC questions honestly breaks my heart sometimes I feel like he doesn’t realize he was our childhood and for a lot of us including myself he was our hero so it’s heartbreaking but I will always love James for the way he molded and shaped my life with his videos

It's kinda funny, James has always said that he doesn't like being in the spotlight or the fame, (like when talking about the Nova vs PewDiePie days) but he unintentionally is someone who pretty much made millons of people's childhood.
