I don't believe my arguments lead to the conclusion that one can only kill mobs one already is camping.
My arguments only cover how one secures the exclusive right to camp amob (kill ph, clear room or inherit via list/hand off).
As I've already stated, if no one has done any of these actions the mob is uncamped and FTE. The camp rules exist to prevent kill stealing; you don't need camp rights to kill a mob, you just can't kill a mob to which another player has camp rights.
'First come first served' doesn't seem to be a legislated rule. Perhaps this thread will change that. It's certainly a rule I choose to play by. I don't always have the means to check if another player has secured their camp by any of the 3 paths previously mentioned (cycling ph/room or list hand off) and I don't want to risk KSing another players legitimate camp just because I suspect that they may be faking their claim to it.
Edit: and thanks for entertaining my position in a courteous manner, Loramin. You truly are a gentleman.
