Boss thinks I have anger issues

I have have about three disagreements with one of my coworkers in the past year. They have not been knock down drag outs. There was no yelling involved, threatening language or gestures, or foul language. We had worked out the issues ourselves and seem to have a good relationship. I'm not sure what brought this on, but my boss brought me into his office and told me he had asked all of my cooworkers if they had any disagreements with me. He also told me that he had already told someone higher up on the food chain about it and that we were having the conversation we were having. I was amazed by this. His description of the disagreements that occurred between this person and myself basically was that I blew up at him. As I mentioned, on these occasions there was never any yelling, foul language, threatening language or physical threatening. I am an extremley even keal type person who rarely has a problem with anyone. With the person who I have disagreed, we have managed to talk together and come to an ammicable resolution. I told my boss this but he kept pushing the issue that the perception is that I am just fine one minute and blow up all of a sudden and that he has to look out for the welfare of the group. What am I supposed to do about a boss who seems to have come to a wrong conclusion and brought my character into question with my whole group and with an unknown person higher up in the chain?
