C180 PLT HAD RWY INCURSION AFTER LNDG AT SNS.

Narrative

I LANDED SHORT ON RWY 31 (FOR PRACTICE) THEN REALIZED I HAD A LONG WAY TO GO TO TXWY A; WHICH WOULD GET ME OFF THE ACTIVE. I WAS NOT PERSONALLY IN A HURRY. I AM RETIRED. MY EXPERIENCE WITH CTLRS (50+ YRS) INDICATES THEY ARE AGAINST DELAY; LONG TAXIES; OR DIDDLING AROUND OF ANY KIND ON THEIR ACTIVE RWY. SINCE THERE WERE OTHER ACFT IN AND APCHING THE PATTERN; I XMITTED (ACFT #) REQUEST TAXI RWY 26; BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO GET MY BUTT OFF THE ACTIVE RWY. I HEARD OTHER ACFT BEHIND ME; BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW CLOSE OR HOW FAST. MY AIRPLANE DOES NOT HAVE A REAR VIEW. THE CTLR DID NOT RESPOND. WHILE TAXIING ON RWY 31 THROUGH THE INTXN OF RWY 8/26 ( NOW I AM ON 2 RWYS); I MADE THE TENUOUS DECISION TO GO DIRECTLY TO TXWY A; THUS CLRING THE ACTIVE MORE QUICKLY BEFORE SOME LOW WING TURKEY LANDS ON TOP OF ME. YES; I KNOW THE CTLR SHOULD NOT LET THAT HAPPEN; BUT HE WAS BUSY SORTING OUT DOWNWINDS; BASES; AND RPTING POINTS; OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE GRANTED OR DENIED MY INITIAL TAXI REQUEST; RIGHT? IT DOES NOT TAKE LONG TO SAY 'UNABLE.' THE CTLR THEN MADE TIME TO CHEW ON ME FOR MY ACTION WHICH I (APPARENTLY MISTAKENLY) THOUGHT WOULD 1) HELP HIM; 2) PROTECT ME; AND 3) PROMOTE SMOOTH TFC FLOW. IT SEEMS THAT THE RULES ARE TAKING PRECEDENCE OVER SAFETY RATHER THAN PROMOTING IT.
