I've seen news stories and net reports of FAs doing this without cause.

This, apparently, constitutes flight disruption.

In your defense, I would point out that raising one's voice - at his request, basically, as he stated he couldn't hear you - is not the same as yelling at him. (It's almost like he was trying to set up a claim against you....)
As for the "pressing the call button" allegation, what a reach.
I would be interested to know what crimes the FA might have committed by making this false report (other than making a false report). Interference with gvt operations, harassment....
I hope you got his name.
Good luck with the Delta complaint. I'm interested to see how they handle this.
