Default Would You Consider This A Backstab?

Situation:

I have a defensive position at a planet. It's an obvious defensive position because there are always over 100 ships there, platforms everywhere, bases in the air, etc. Additionally, it is a converging point of several warpholes that I made.

A person whom I have a treaty with (nearly the entire game) moved a fleet of 100 ships to this point Last turn. I'm thinking, "Fine, thanks for the help." Then this turn runs, that fleet of 100 ships stays, and a ship in this fleet of his has "erased" one of my warpholes "under" my planets there. He didn't ask about erasing the warphole. The treaty between us is still in force.

If you were in my position, how would you feel? I'm thinking, "I built my network of warplines for a purpose and you have no right to come in unnanounced and delete one!"

Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Would you ever, with good intentions, move a fleet to a big defensive point of your ally and erase one of the warpholes there without discussing it with your ally?
