I think you're making a big assumption about who is saying what.

Wasn't trying to lead you, I was just wondering if there could be another reasonable conclusion. Your answer seems to be confirming my suspicions.

You're assuming some things there, which may or may not be true for this person.

You're making an assumption that is not necessarily true.

Are you sure there isn’t more nuance to the situation?

You're making an assumption there.

Not sure why you’re assuming the worst of me here.

The phrasing "it could be prompted to say so" made me think you had an opinion on it.
