"Just asking questions" isn't friendly (no matter how civil or polite you are) if the contextual implication is "you must supply an argument sufficiently rigorous to convince me."
That's a demand. It's an assertion that the person "just asking questions" has a greater relevance. It's a behavior of dominance, not of "intellectual rigor" or whatever.
