Austin's arguing style has not changed, but because it's not personally being aimed at James anymore he now feels it's okay to tell Austin how to behave when he actually never cared before when Austin was defending himself and James.

Being friends with someone doesn't mean you have to over look and gloss over their faults. In a strong friendship you can like someone even though you know their faults and can call then out on it. The problem is Austen can't take it.
