Narrative:

We had just landed on runway 19R at iad and departed the runway at D7. D7 is a high speed intersection with a 'reverse.' after clearing the runway we started to taxi on the high speed and the controller stated 'keep the turn going.' I was unclr which way he wanted us to taxi, so I stopped for clarification. After taxiing on the 'reverse' high speed we were told to copy the tower number and give him a call. The controller argued that we had stopped on the runway. We were clear of the runway.
