Admin Grief.

There will probably be some foul language in here because I'm pissed off.
So I've been playing around on the SMP server now for awhile since, let's face it, there are more options for building materials and it's where minecraft is headed, so I may as well get used to it. I don't ask for creative mode though, because if I've never had it then I can't be accused of abusing it. I also hope one day to get a rank high enough to toggle it on and off myself.
That being said, I've built a couple of bridges on the current (temporary!) server with the intention of connecting one of my builds with spawn by railcart, and that build to another by a very long footbridge. The rail bridge is, I admit, a bit of an eyesore at the moment because I don't have enough stone to finish the build, and I'm still working in single-player to figure out exactly how I want it to look and act.
One of the ops decided to mention this (Sennec, it seems.) and told me I should do something with the build, I agreed, and went on about my merry way.
I then built another bridge (the aforementioned foot bridge) out of glass. Anyone on SMP will tell you that building with glass in survival mode is a bitch. It took me hours to gather the sand and coal, then 3 or 4 hours more of letting a dozen furnaces run simultaneously. Then there was the actual building of the thing, stretching from around X= -3000 to x= -900. (About 2000 blocks). The structure was a 1x1 bridge, and that was all I could manage before I needed sleep and some class.
I come back today, and it's fucking gone. Every glass block disappeared with nary but a sign saying "don't build any more 1x1 bridges", and I don't have the permission to take the fucking sign down. It's sitting right on the front damned porch and there's nothing I can do about it.
Now I realize that these 2 bridges were in the way, but the one stretching from -900 to -3000 was out in the middle of NO-FUCKING-WHERE. You have to walk for a solid 10 minutes just to GET to -900, and that's exactly why I chose it to start building.
I don't care if he's an admin or not, that was a build-in-progress. and should not have been removed. Also, the LEAST he could have done was drop a couple of chests with the glass blocks inside so that I didn't lose ALL THAT TIME.
Now I know you've all got each others' backs and that admin can't possibly do anything wrong, but had a guest or a builder or even a vet done this, it would've meant a demotion and a kick.
