That's because KCMH (Port Columbus International Airport, eastnortheast
Columbus OH) are FAA controllers and KOSU (The Ohio State University
Airport/Don Scott Field, northwest Columbus OH) are contract tower.
We have had A LOT of problems with the contract employees at KOSU in the
past year. So much so that the FAA has sent us an address to send
complaints to.

I did my private training there over the last couple of years, you're right,
they do get a little over the top sometimes. I had one yell at me once for
stopping on his runway (9L) after being cleared for the option, just to name
one incident. I have heard them get on people lots of times, sometimes
deservedly, sometimes not.
