By default the global mode works like other global modes: turning it off turns the mode off in all existing buffers. There is a variable that can be set to a function (that is called when the global mode is turned off) to actually turn off the mode in each buffer. This gives the ability for folks who really don't want that behaviour to do something about it. If you feel this is wrong then I will submit a version without that variable [and thus no change to easymmode is required]; turning off the global mode would then be "final".
