Cacher, you missed the point. He was talking about SMP, too. You gave someone a hard time about removing something from SMP that has "purpose" and then turned around and recommended removing some other items from SMP that also have "purpose".

Angelwolf, while those items can be used for griefing doesn't mean they're "designed for" griefing. Remember, Tekkit started out as Technic - a single player mod. No worries about griefing in single player so they made some ridiculously powerful stuff - many of which are great conveniences for mining and getting resources at ridiculous speeds. But now that it's available in Tekkit on SMP, server admins need to proactively think about whether they want to allow those items to be available.

On our server we were intially without restrictions on items because we were white-listed and "trusted" everyone we let on. Then one day an admin had a disagreement with the owner and the result was a 600x600 chasm where he set off a few stacks of nukes at the owner's house. So now almost everything in your list is banned. So even in "trusted" environments these tools can be abused.
