Narrative:

Just outside the atl TCA, I contacted atl approach. I was told to stand by. 1 min later I called again and was told to squawk XXXX. I advised ATC of my position, altitude, aircraft is mode C equipped, and destination (peachtree airport). The frequency was relatively quiet. A little later they called and said that I was in a dangerous position relative to incoming traffic from the south. All traffic was in sight. They advised a heading of 360 degrees for my descent and I so complied. Later I requested a turn toward peachtree airport. They said hold 360 degree heading a little longer. Finally a turn to destination. There seemed to be a conflict. Upon contact I made my requests very clear. I was issued an transponder code, but they seemed indifferent. Then later accused me of violating the TCA. It was my intention to transverse the TCA legally and safely.
