Narrative:
Uncontrolled taxi safety ramp. I was cleared to land runway 23L. Tower instructed right at intersection J, right at taxiway B, contact ground 121.9. I said 'pvd ground, warrior X with you on taxiway B to the northeast ramp ads.' ground instructed 'taxi taxiway B, cleared to ramp -- caution air carrier B757.' at the end of taxiway B, I took a right onto uncontrolled ramp. As I approached the B757, I stopped momentarily, then I proceeded with extreme caution, passing to the left side. My taxi speed was a slow crawl and separation was safe. Ground closed the ramp shortly afterwards and airport operations appeared concerned with my taxiing procedures. At no time was safety in question nor was my clearance misunderstood. Airport operations seemed more concerned with the importance of a football charter than providing wing walkers or even a thumbs up. To add insult to injury, I was admonished for my taxiing by an airport operations employee.
