Narrative:

ATC showing a lack of professional decorum; being disrespectful and condescending to inexperienced pilots on tower frequency. This could become distracting and could be yet another link in the chain of events that leads to an accident. Tower getting creative in their expectations of pilots at crq; placing expectations that go way beyond those of far's or aim guidance at the time of initial check in for class D arrivals; insisting on initial calls from 6-10 miles from the class D airport.when the CFI onboard the aircraft is asking them to soften their tone with the student; reminding them that 'they are a training tower and we pilots extend grace to their mistakes and that we too are training new pilots and we may need the same considerations'. They abused their position and needlessly imposed a full stop landing while allowing others to initiate and/or continue touch and go's.tower refusing to acknowledge many requests asking them to 'mark the tape'. Telling the pilot to 'stop talking'; leading to multiple unnecessary requests on tower frequency and confusion as to if the reporting party had been cleared to land.all of this wreaks of pilot pushing and ATC bullying that has real potential to lead an insecure; or inexperienced pilot that much closer to an unnecessary accident. It is this reporter's desire to recognize ATC's difficult job and to work hand in hand with them to promote the safest and most efficient and consistent procedures for arriving and departing aircraft across the nation. However; I would caution ATC from operating from a position that suggests that their local desires carry the full force and effect of far's. It is my further desire that pilots and ATC operate with a heart of courteous cooperation that benefits all participants.
