In that sense then I don't think it was that rude to ask why he was being mentioned, at least not rude enough for James to go on one of his long winded red faced rants.

What makes you believe he was talking behind his back when he mentioned his name, which makes it sound like he was saying something mean? I didn't see anything to suggest that.
