Both of those could be stated in a more constructive manner, such as asking for substantiation, rather than stating there isn't any. Discussing in goof faith requires you to provide an argument to the contrary if you disagree, and give the other side a chance to explain their assertions more.

You followed up the first paragraph with a clarifying question, which is good. That by itself would have been sufficient.
