wow! I am pleasantly surprised I had this many hits. The issue did get resolved in the league as my buddy has just mentioned. I appreaciate all responses. The biggest problem I had with the issue is how it went down. The guys did it without telling anybody. If the guy would have went around and asked us (we all work in the same office) then it wouldn't have been a big deal, we would have said fine and then everyone could have been under the same rules. Like my title reads "Fantasy Football Etiquette", were all friends so we would have been understanding that he needed a kicker. It was just a little shady how he went about it.
Anyway. The season is underway and we have resolved the issue (sort of). Thanks again for all the posts!
