I'm losing HP and SP over this mob... I believe I have every right to be the one to kill it

I agree with Hess...In the last thread about KSing I had my opinion changed. I *used* to think it was just "if you hit it its yours", but like Hess says, she is taking damage, and healing, or using pots/stones.
Now, I think of it as if you "have anything invested" into the monster...ie you would now have to spend ig-cash to bring yourself back to the point you were at before...then it *is* KSing.
I also agree with lrva's point that while this is the current accepted view, it changes and not everyone agrees (although Yosei's post about Dakkon should be good enough), so I think of it as a "gray-area" of KSing.
I usually say "please dont KS". If they tell me they aren't, I explain why they are (imo). If they continue I'll either take a screenie, including our convo, or I just go gather way more mobs than they probably want to be around.

Rule of thumb, if the person isn't sparkling red and obviously heading towards the gate... don't touch their mob.

I'd follow this "thumb rule"...its a good one
...also one prob about hitting each monster is that it still only looks like you are attacking one if someone walks by *after* you've done that.
