I have had a lot of experience for this - office politics...
In your communication with your supervisor, make your email sound as neutral and professional as possible, send an email, then approach him/ her in person requesting a meeting regarding the email you have sent. Its good that you have attempted to resolve this with the person in contact via email - send a copy along to your manager as well so that s/he can see that you have made attempts to resolve the issue.
In the end though, you can either decided to put your tail between the legs bend over and take it, which is the safest way in most instances, or you can stand up for yourself. In this case it obviously appears that you are in the right and this person is just trying to kick up a storm over nothing.
