Vetoing Fantasy Baseball Trades?

I'm just wondering what people think about the ethics/implications of vetoing a Fantasy Baseball trade. I've been trying for weeks to complete a deal which I believe would have filled my needs, but one guy in my league keeps vetoing every deal I make, regardless of whether it's fair or not (I like to think they are all fair). It's becoming a severe impediment to me, as he's even telling people specifically to veto my trades. There is the possibility that he is just being an ********, but I'd like to know what other people think.

I need a shortstop, and some sheer offensive punch, while I have speed and pitching to offer.

The deal I proposed was:

C Russell Martin

OF Jacoby Ellsbury

SS Alexei Ramirez

RP Jonathan Papelbon

SP Justin Verlander

in exchange for

SS Hanley Ramirez

C Brian McCann

OF Carlos Lee

RP Jonathan Broxton

I don't think the deal looks ridiculously unfair, but I might be wrong.

    Vetoing trades is a nasty business. People who do it are small minded and childish. That said, you're stuck with it. Try to find out from the guy why he's calling for others to veto and try to get on his good side, or give it up and do your trades with the waiver wire and free agent pool.

    Talk it over with all the managers and see if there could be some changes to the rules
