Narrative:
Whether an actual incursion actually happened is questionable, as defined by FAA regulations, but pilot in other aircraft was visibly agitated upon parking of aircraft, so I thought it prudent to submit this form as a precaution. Situation: upon my final, other aircraft (C152) with student pilot at controls, was turning off active runway when my aircraft touched down at the numbers (runway 35). The pattern was extremely busy and I felt there would be plenty of separation (4000 ft runway) between my touching down and his imminent departure to the taxiway. I set down and began taxiing to exit upon hearing an over-frequency remark from the CFI aboard the C152 that I had just caused a runway incursion. I was a bit shocked because there was 4000 ft of runway between aircraft and no 'immediate collision' danger. I chose not to respond to him and taxied to parking. Apparently, he was agitated because he had not yet crossed the runway/taxiway hold short line. I realize that area is part of the active runway but as stated prior there was no danger of collision and due to heavy traffic I felt it in my best interest to land and not go around. If I had to do it over again, I would just delay landing until pattern clears of all student pilots and overzealous CFI's.

Title: AT A NON CTLED ARPT, A BL8 PLT TOUCHED DOWN PRIOR TO PRECEDING ACFT CLRING THE RWY.
Narrative: WHETHER AN ACTUAL INCURSION ACTUALLY HAPPENED IS QUESTIONABLE, AS DEFINED BY FAA REGS, BUT PLT IN OTHER ACFT WAS VISIBLY AGITATED UPON PARKING OF ACFT, SO I THOUGHT IT PRUDENT TO SUBMIT THIS FORM AS A PRECAUTION. SIT: UPON MY FINAL, OTHER ACFT (C152) WITH STUDENT PLT AT CTLS, WAS TURNING OFF ACTIVE RWY WHEN MY ACFT TOUCHED DOWN AT THE NUMBERS (RWY 35). THE PATTERN WAS EXTREMELY BUSY AND I FELT THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF SEPARATION (4000 FT RWY) BTWN MY TOUCHING DOWN AND HIS IMMINENT DEP TO THE TXWY. I SET DOWN AND BEGAN TAXIING TO EXIT UPON HEARING AN OVER-FREQ REMARK FROM THE CFI ABOARD THE C152 THAT I HAD JUST CAUSED A RWY INCURSION. I WAS A BIT SHOCKED BECAUSE THERE WAS 4000 FT OF RWY BTWN ACFT AND NO 'IMMEDIATE COLLISION' DANGER. I CHOSE NOT TO RESPOND TO HIM AND TAXIED TO PARKING. APPARENTLY, HE WAS AGITATED BECAUSE HE HAD NOT YET CROSSED THE RWY/TXWY HOLD SHORT LINE. I REALIZE THAT AREA IS PART OF THE ACTIVE RWY BUT AS STATED PRIOR THERE WAS NO DANGER OF COLLISION AND DUE TO HVY TFC I FELT IT IN MY BEST INTEREST TO LAND AND NOT GO AROUND. IF I HAD TO DO IT OVER AGAIN, I WOULD JUST DELAY LNDG UNTIL PATTERN CLRS OF ALL STUDENT PLTS AND OVERZEALOUS CFI'S.
